While Westlake United Methodist is a scripture-based church, we believe that scripture should be interpreted through tradition, reason, and experience.  Any single scriptural passage should be interpreted in the context of the overarching story of God's grace revealed in Jesus Christ.  Believing that God's grace is extended to all persons and that the Gospel, as well as this church should be open to all, the Journeys Sunday School Class has affiliated with the Reconciling Ministries Network.
