At Westhill Community Church our aim is for worship to be a 24/7 activity.We long to worship God passionately, in ever-increasing abandonment and with a growing revelation of His nature and character. Worship here is to God, for God and about God.

We seek to serve Jesus by reaching out to others in the community, with the love of Christ. We do this in practical ways, such as our Care in the Community ministry, and our café that runs throughout the week. To find out more about the different ministries we provide click here.

Our Journey
Westhill Episcopal Church was planted as an extension of a local Episcopal (Anglican) church in the 1970s as the town underwent an expansion which reflected the growth of the region due to the rise of the energy business. We were first located in the local parish church and community centre operating as an ecumenical hub in the town. The church family has grown from a small number to its current membership of nearly 150. In 2011 the church was gifted land at Old Skene Road on the edge of town upon which to build a church. The present church building was completed in 2014, paid for by the congregation. We changed our name to Westhill Community Church to emphasise our commitment to serve the local community, to be a place of prayer, healing, renewal and refreshment for all.
In 2019, members voted to leave the Scottish Episcopal Church. The process involved a change in legal status, with the church becoming a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). We remain an Anglican church, but since late 2023, have carried out our Christian mission and service as Westhill Community Church SCIO, independent from the governance of the Scottish Episcopal Church. We are a member of the Anglican Convocation Europe (ACE) and are affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance.
Revd Ian Ferguson was the Rector from April 1982 until he retired in 2020. A new Rector is due to be appointed in the spring of 2024. During the inter-regnum, a team of six lay elders carried the bulk of the teaching and pastoral ministry of the church.
