Join us on Sunday mornings for our worship gathering at 10:30am. Preaching minister Luke Norsworthy is currently teaching a sermon series on Jesus' parables, walking us through the many illustrations Jesus used to describe the kingdom of heaven. From the sower to the talents to the lost sheep, there's always something new to discover about the richness of God's love and our part in the kingdom, on earth as it is in heaven.

Westover supports a wide variety of outreach efforts and organizations around the world. This include Let's Start Talking, mission work in Honduras and Ghana, Olive Branch Ministries International, Eastern European Mission, Haiti Christian Development Project, and many others. While each mission effort looks a little different depending on the cultural context, they are all oriented toward sharing the gospel of Jesus and the love of God for the lost.

Westover is committed to sharing the gospel of Christ and meeting needs, within our community, around Austin and across the globe. In order to do that, our many ministries and outreach efforts need to be funded. When you give during Floodgate, your dollars are mobilized toward the kingdom work Westover will do next year. These are the next stories we'll tell. From youth ministry camp scholarships to funding the weekly Drive Thru Food Pantry, these efforts are expressions of our calling to turn our hearts toward More Than Us, More Than Here. Please pray and plan for your charitable giving contribution toward Floodgate on November 9th. MORE ABOUT FLOODGATE >>
