West Side Bible Church and Arizona Christian University
Forming An Exciting Partnership
West Side will begin meeting on the ACU campus on August 11, 2024
West Side Bible Church
​West Side Bible Church was established in 1968 as an independent church in Glendale, AZ, rooted in grace theology. Over the past 56 years, we have had only three pastors and many long-term members, reflecting our stability and close-knit community. We are dedicated to expository preaching, practical outreach, and fostering a diverse, welcoming environment. Our mission is to "lovingly proclaim Jesus to everyone and to teach Believers to love, obey, and serve Him."
