Looking for a church where you can grow in your faith, serve with purpose, and belong to a biblical community? Whether you're in Morgan Hill or San Jose, West Hills Community Church invites you to take the next step by becoming a member.
Becoming a member means you're not just attending — you're engaging, contributing, and committing to the mission of the local church.
Why Church Membership Matters
Church membership is more than a formality — it's a biblical commitment to live in accountable, Spirit-led fellowship with others. At West Hills, membership is about:
Growing together in biblical truth
Serving through your God-given gifts
Supporting gospel ministry through generosity
Submitting to spiritual leadership in love and humility
Encouraging one another in faith and everyday life
Joining a church body is a declaration: “I’m all in.”

Jesus
You must be a follower of Jesus Christ, believe that He died for your sins, and trust Him as the Savior of your life.

Baptism is a step of obedience for every believer. If you haven't yet been baptized, we'll help you take that step.
Attend a

Offered several times a year at each campus, this class gives you a full picture of our doctrine, leadership, values, and how we live out the gospel as a church.
Meet with a Pastor or Elder
Share your story of faith, ask questions, and review the membership covenant together.
Public

After completing the process, you’ll be welcomed as a new member during a Sunday service.
