Thank you for visiting the Western Hills Church website. We feel OUR first responsibility to you begins before you arrive. That’s what this page is about. We want to make the path to Western Hills as smooth as possible so that you can focus on the experience of church once you arrive.
Deciding to go to church and then choosing a church are two great steps in anyone’s life. And at Western Hills we understand that before you go to a church for the first time you probably have some basic questions:
How do I get there?
What should I wear?
What’s available for my kids?
What can I expect in church?
Here is a quick look at what you can expect based upon what people see when they come to Western Hills:
|
“The church is next to the College of San Mateo campus. I was pleasantly surprised to find clear signage all the way out at West Hillsdale.” |
|
A warm welcome, a friendly smile and hot gourmet coffee are the first things you’ll find waiting for you.
Once on campus we want to make finding your way around very easy. So we have clearly marked signage and friendly greeters who will help you get to where you need to go – finding childcare, the worship center or anywhere else on our intimate campus. Once the Sunday service begins at 10:30 a.m. you’ll enjoy great music, practical and encouraging messages and friendly people. |
|
“The message was so practical and helped me with real issues going on in my life that very week.”
|
|
|
Music that energizes the spirit, mind and body, together with an encouraging message for life, are the two core components of every Sunday service.
We’ll give you a printed message outline with the Bible passages included. Our goal is to help bridge the gap between the ancient and the present – in other words discovering together how the teachings from the Bible can help you in your daily life.
|
“I wore casual clothes and felt completely comfortable!” |
|
Our concern for you is to help you with the real needs of life.
So you can dress any way you are comfortable. Our pastor sometimes wears a casual shirt with slacks and often wears a Hawaiian shirt with jeans. |
|
”My younger children loved the KidCity program. Our junior higher enjoyed his visit and learned that there is a special program for students on Monday evenings, too!”
|
|
|
A SAFE learning environment and a FUN place to learn are what you can expect for your kids. We’re investing a lot to make sure that both of these goals are reached. That is true of the buildings where children and students meet and even more so in the volunteers who work with your kids.

“The pastor actually asked us NOT to participate in the offering as a first-time guest. He said, ‘Your presence is gift enough.’”
|
|
|
The offering is for those who are part of the Western Hills family. Instead of wanting you to give something, we want you to get something! |
|
So, if it’s been awhile since you’ve been to church or if you’ve never been, relax, enjoy your visit and know that Western Hills has you in mind in all that we do! We hope that getting some of this basic information out of the way not only encourages you to join us for church, but also helps you to connect with the hope and encouragement that God has for you.
