About
Us
When
you walk in the doors of Westlake Church to attend our Sunday service,
you will see people from all over the world including almost every
continent – Asia, Australia, Africa, North and South America, and of
course Europe. Our people come from as far away as South Africa, Brazil,
Australia, and Korea. These folk have made Westlake their home church
away from home. One of our desires is that wherever you come from and
whatever your background is, you will feel “at home” with us here.
Our Structure
As an independent church, we count on our members in many ways. Westlake
members serve in different functions according to each person’s
God-given gifts such as worship, outreach, teaching, and care. Our
Pastor serves in the very important ministry of preaching, teaching and
pastoral oversight. Our elders provide spiritual direction and the
overall management of the church as a whole. We also have a church
council which provide leadership in many church activities and
administration.
Membership
Westlake always welcomes new members! Those wanting to become members must first complete a membership class which provides basic instruction
about the privileges and responsibilities of being a member. Although
the main activities of Westlake are open to anyone, and it is possible
to be involved in some levels of responsibility without being a member
in the strict sense, we do have a formal membership that allows us to
establish a coherent and stable basis for the organization and
government of our church.
Finances
Being an independent church means that we do not have access to the
central funds of a specific denomination. The finances needed to run
Westlake comes from the gifts and offerings of members and attendees of
our church, including occasional gifts coming from people outside the
church.
Pastors
British native, Martin Slack recently started as Pastor of the Westlake Lausanne congregation. New Zealander. David McChesney was appointed as the pastor of the Westlake Church in Nyon.
