An Evening With Matt Papa

An Evening With Matt Papa // Sunday, March 1 at 6pm // Westmeade Baptist Church
 
Westmeade Baptist Church is thrilled and honored to host Matt Papa, a veteran songwriter and musician who has carved an even more unique space for himself as one of the world’s top modern-day hymn writers. With songs like, “His Mercy Is More”, “Christ Our Hope In Life And Death” and “Come Behold The Wonderous Mystery”, Matt tours regularly across the U.S. as a songwriter with Getty Music and frequently guests on their tours. A three-time Dove Award nominated artist, Matt is on a mission to write songs that are singable, beautiful and timeless. He currently serves as an artist-in-residence at Marco Presbyterian Church in Marco Island, FL, and most of all, is a husband and a father to 5 beautiful children.

Only 1% of the Alabama deaf residents have access to the gospel of Jesus Christ. With the new Alabama School for the Deaf in Decatur, God has brought a mission field to Westmeade. We have started a Bible Study on Wednesday nights from 6:15pm-7:15pm that is interpreted for the deaf. If you or anyone you know has a hearing impairment or deaf, please invite them to join us. Misty Haskins or Bonita Smith will meet them in the elevator lobby prior to the start of class.

CORE Discipleship Groups

CORE seminars are an invaluable and indispensable part of disciple-making at Westmeade. These in-depth seminars cover topics like: Systematic Theology, Old Testament Survey, New Testament Survey, Apologetics, Missions, Evangelism, Meeting with God, Fear of Man, and many more. Over time, the material taught in CORE will teach every basic and foundational truth that a Christian should know, live and share. CORE seminars are every Wednesday from 6:15-7:15pm and are for all ages.

ADULTS:
Join us for the new Core seminar beginning January 7, and continuing through Wednesday, April 1, as we consider things like what the Bible says about itself, the existence and attributes of God, creation, providence, sin, and the person and work of Jesus Christ. That’s what systematic theology is – it helps show in a systematic way what the whole Bible say about a given doctrine. In this seminar you will grow and be encouraged. Join us tonight, Wednesday, January 7, at 6:15pm in the sanctuary.
 
STUDENTS: Beginning January 7, students will begin a series called “Following Jesus.” What does it look like to actually follow Jesus daily? They will be studying God’s Word to see what it means to walk with Jesus, listen to Jesus, talk with Jesus and meet with Jesus according to Scripture. Students, join us tonight in the Refuge at 6:15pm.
KIDS: Our WestmeadeKids will be kicking off another semester of KidsPraise. Parents, make sure to have your kids be a part of this special ministry. Join us each Wednesday night in the Upper Room at 6:15pm.
 
*Childcare is available for Babies – Pre-K during CORE on Wednesday nights.
