What kind of a church is WHBC?
We are a Bible-based church with a contemporary, charismatic style of worship. We believe in vital worship and the power of God. Our desire is to teach the Bible in an, ‘Oh, I get it’ way. God made it easy to be a follow of Jesus… it’s man that complicates things! So we strive to keep things simple, easy, relevant and fun!

We are known for our teaching and worship – as well as helping people to be the very best they can be in God. Everything we do we do with purpose and faith. We have big God who’s given us a BIG vision and the grace and wisdom to know how to get there. This confidence in our God-given purpose overflows into the personal lives of all who call WHBC home.
Give WHBC one faithful year and you’ll never be the same! Come experience the reality of God’s salvation power and discover how fun and rewarding a vital personal relationship with Jesus Christ can be.

Will I fit in?
above: Welcome Home!
YES!!! We accept everyone just as they are! We are a church of incredible variety which makes it easy for anyone to fit in! So if you’re investigating the Christian Faith for the first time, a new or young Christian, or a mature well-seasoned believer you’ll feel right at home. However, it take a few weeks to get a true feel for things and inevitably one service might ‘fit you’ better than others. So come for 3-4 Sundays and we are confident you’ll find yourself fitting right in!
