Welcome to West Church LKN! A message from Rev. Dr. Andrea Smith: West is a group of people that worship together, online or at Lake Norman High School, Mooresville, NC. 9 AM online service on Sundays, 10 AM in-person. If you come to West on a Sunday morning, you’ll find folks dressed in shorts and tee-shirts or athletic apparel, some coming straight from their soccer game. In winter, a pair of jeans and sweatshirt is common. At West, “all” means all people are welcome, and we actually live out that core value. West is an inclusive, safe community and we are not ashamed to say that. We believe in being real and relevant. We want to meet you where you are in your life. You’re not going to hear that there are absolutes — all questions and all pathways of exploration are welcome. We practice what we understand to be the Jesus way, which is radical love and acceptance. We encourage you to ask questions and wrestle with what we say on a Sunday morning. We don’t invest a lot of money in facilities. We worship at Lake Norman High School through an amazing partnership with the Iredell School System and have a strong online community. By not having a dedicated building, we can invest our money in community missions. Major missions: Support a sister church and orphanage in Uganda. Produce an annual Back to School Bash, where 1,200 disadvantaged students receive shoes, clothing, and supplies so they’re ready for success in school.

When Jesus called the disciples, it was not that they’d been sitting around WAITING to be asked to go on the journey. Yet, when the ask came, they were willing to move.
Are you willing to move today?…
