COMMUNITY CHURCH
WEST EDGE
ABOUT US
At West Edge Community Church, we believe in living out the love exemplified by Jesus, who calls us to love God wholeheartedly and extend that love to others, even our enemies. To us, love is synonymous with generosity. Love gives. When we love, we give our time, talent, and treasure. These are the ways we contribute to building a brighter future for all.
COMMUNITY
At the core of every human being is a fundamental need for connection and love, transcending cultures and experiences. We are inherently social creatures, seeking relationships that provide mutual support and understanding. From a Christian perspective, Jesus fulfills this innate longing by connecting us to the heart of God. This divine love, beyond human comprehension, enriches and satisfies our deepest need for belonging, fostering profound spiritual ties and emotional well-being. Through this connection with God, we also connect more deeply with one another.
