Westmore Church of God
‘Reach with Care, Nurture with Word and Worship with Passion’ Westmore Church of God, currently located at 2412 Wolfe Drive, is experiencing tremendous growth while impacting local communities and people around the world. In 2013 many exciting things happened at Westmore. From membership growth to missions efforts on every populated continent, Westmore continues to “Reach with Care, Nurture with Word and Worship with Passion” locally and around the world. On a weekly basis, Westmore offers different venues for worship experiences. On Sunday morning at 10, the main morning worship service takes place. This is a time where believers and non-believers can experience a contemporary blend of traditional and newer styles of worship as well as the presentation of the gospel. The High 5 Children’s Ministry meets twice a week. On Sunday mornings at 10, ages K-5 share in a large group time of worship. With videos and live skits, and many other methods of illustration, Pastor Chris Knipp teaches God’s word in a way the children can understand. For younger children, Pastor Anna Anderson teaches with puppets and illustrations, making sure no groups are left without ministry. Nursery is provided for infants. On Wednesday nights at 6:30 the age-specific groups meet. From Royal Rangers to Girls Clubs, Westmore’s High 5 Children’s Ministry seeks to disciple children on a weekly basis. In 2013, the Element Youth department continued its Fusion service that meets Sunday mornings as well. This is an age-specific service that targets students from grades 6-8 with music and preaching designed to peak their interest. The Element Student ministry also meets twice a week for large and small groups. On Sunday nights, students encounter a time of discipleship in small group, age-appropriate settings. On Wednesday nights, students’ grades 6-12 come together
for a large group corporate worship experience. The Element travels worldwide on various mission trips to Haiti, New York and several youth camps around the country. From the arts to athletics, skate parks to video games, the Element youth ministry offers something for all students. If you or a student you know is interested in the Element youth ministry, please contact Pastor Jared Waldrop at 423-479-3415 or you can follow on twitter at @ThisElementLife. Recognizing the need for ministry in times of spiritual crisis and change, Westmore has branched out in its counseling efforts in 2013. Pastor Gail Lemmert continues to offer one-to-one counseling for those in the Westmore family, and now she is making her counseling services available to those outside the church for a small fee. Gail has been serving in counseling ministry for several years, and offers Pre-Marital Counseling, Divorce Care and Grief Care, as well as specialized counseling for those in need. Should you find yourself in a position where counseling is needed, please contact the church office and ask for Pastor Gail Lemmert, 423-479-3415. One of the most dynamic ministries at Westmore is the Music and Media Ministry, under the direction of Pastor Steven Allen. Pastor Steve and his wife, Laura, have been at Westmore for 13 years, and each week they lead a 100-member choir and orchestra, plus a dedicated media team. This group produces various Easter musicals and Christmas concerts, all with live music, and serves around the world on mission endeavors. In addition to the weekly ministry, the music department oversees the Music Academy, a place where students can take voice lessons or learn how to play an instrument. You can see the choir and orchestra in action each Sunday on Charter Cable channel 5 at 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
If you are interested in more information about the choir, orchestra, media or music academy program, contact Laura Allen at the church office 423-4793415. The Senior Adult Ministry at Westmore continues to grow under the direction of Pastor Wendell Smith. Wendell has been serving in various ministry capacities for several years and brings a vibrant energy as he leads our senior adults. With monthly activities including trips to the Cumberland Playhouse, Valentine and Christmas banquets and covereddish fellowships, the senior adults are a group on the move. Weekly prayer meetings and different classes together make the senior adult ministry a great place to be. For more information on senior adult ministry contact Pastor Wendell Smith at 423-479-3415. With church plants and missionaries on every populated continent, the mission arm of Westmore is far reaching and strong. New church plants in Salt Lake City and Cuba, a hospital in Honduras, and a new focus of reaching the unreached people groups in Nepal, one of the foundational blocks of ministry at Westmore is the Global Evangelism Team (GET). Funding more than $350,000 in mission projects and missionaries, Westmore takes seriously the call to carry the gospel of Christ around the world. Not just across the ocean, but also across the street, Westmore is involved in local ministry and care projects that benefit Cleveland and Bradley County. Impacting our schools, Westmore partners with the GOAL Academy and the Chamber of Commerce to extend ministry to the local area in the school system. For more information about missions at Westmore, contact Pastor Jonathan Stone at 423479-3415. “With the energy and passion propelling us into 2014, we at Westmore believe God is guiding us into the future and keeping us
in His will,” a church representative stated. Westmore owns 121 acres formerly known as the Rolling Hills Golf Course and in 2013 additions to the roads, infrastructure and Senior Adult housing were made. Architectural plans continue to be developed and a proposed 44,000-square-foot worship facility is on the horizon for the near future possibly in 2014.
