A Word Of Welcome

I've a confession to make. I love to run. If you're not a runner, you may find it unusual that a 51- year old pastor enjoys running 6 to 10 miles every other day in the pre-dawn darkness before 6:30 a.m. Yet, those 60-90 minutes offer an invaluable quiet time for prayer, reflection and planning. What follows is, in fact, what might be called a "reflection on the run.” I share it with a twofold hope: First, so you may better understand the direction we're headed at West Shore Baptist Church; and second, so you may better know me as the pastor at WSBC. I hope to have the privilege of getting acquainted with you. Maybe we can share an early morning run!

--Pastor Gary Bruland

About Us

At West Shore Baptist Church we are seeking to build our congregation and our lives on God’s five purposes: worship, fellowship, discipleship, service and evangelism. As such, we seek to honor God through celebrative worship, caring fellowship, lifelong discipleship, loving service and creative mission outreach within our community, region and world.

Our denomination is American Baptist, a wonderfully diverse, evangelical and socially-concerned fellowship numbering 1.5 million Christians and 5,500+ churches. Among our key emphases is the "priesthood of believers," which affirms God’s call in every Christian’s life to use their God-given gifts, abilities, passions, personality and life experiences in service to God, to one another, and to all persons everywhere (1 Peter 2:4-5; Ephesians 2:8-10).

We invite you ... to visit with us:

  • If you would like to worship in a warm, welcoming atmosphere;
  • If you would like a selection of times and locations for Bible study;
  • If you would appreciate being active in Christian community;
  • If you are looking for a way to be of service to others.
