What makes WUMC different?
The Westlake Church Family is a group of imperfect people who have been brought together by grace to worship God, to be reminded of forgiveness and to find out what God wants us to do to make a difference in this world. During our weekend services, uplifting music, challenging media and drama presentations with practical, relevant messages present the timeless truths of the Bible that can be easily understood and applied to your daily life. There are great opportunities for the entire family to be involved in this community.

What does WUMC believe?
Westlake United Methodist is a scripture-based church - we believe that scripture should be interpreted through tradition, reason, and experience. Any single scriptural passage should be interpreted in the context of the overarching story of God's grace revealed in Jesus Christ.
Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?
No. If you are our guest, we won't ask you to wear a sticker or stand up or stand out in any way. We don't even ask that you give a dime in our offering baskets. We want you to remain as anonymous as you want to be, but we do encourage you to come for several weeks so that you can see all that is going on at WUMC. We encourage you to fill out one of our registration cards so that we can get to know you and help you learn about WUMC.
