RightNow Media

Jesus’ final instruction to his followers before leaving earth wasn’t just to “make Christians”, or even to “make church-attending, Bible-reading Christians”, but to “make disciples… teaching them to observe ALL I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20, emphasis added). At West Hills, we are all about helping you grow in your understanding of, obedience to, and relationship with God, wherever you happen to be in that relationship, and in whatever context you find yourself. Discipleship can’t just be a Sunday morning thing.

Online Bookstore

We desire to equip believers with good resources that will help foster a love for Jesus, His Church, and the World. To that end, we have created an online bookstore in partnership with 10 of Those.
