Care, support, and healing
Looking for Help?
If you or someone you know is facing difficulties, our Care ministry is here to provide support. You don't have to face your challenges alone—let us know how we can care for you.
One-on-One Care
Care Advisors offer short-term, confidential care for many of life’s common issues by means of biblical perspective, practical direction, empathic listening, and prayer.
Prayer
Do you have a personal or confidential need you would like prayer for? Your prayer request will be received with compassion and prayed for by our dedicated prayer team.
Financial Assistance
Atlanta Westside’s benevolence ministry exists to live out the good news of Jesus by holistically and practically assisting and encouraging our members and connected neighbors.
Care, Support, and Healing
Westside believes in the value of Christian counseling, both in the interactions within the Body and through professionals. As such, Westside has allowed professional counselors to lease space in the church in order to support our community and operate their business.
These counselors can also connect you with other mental health professionals and services in the Atlanta area. You are welcome to contact them directly with any questions. Their practices are independent; they are not operated in any way by the church.
If finances are keeping you from seeing a counselor, we would love to get you started. Apply for a Counseling Subsidy request.

We highly recommend you join a neighborhood Community Group.
Grace Groups offer just that! They are meant to draw you into life-on-life discipleship and mutually encouraging friendship.
Westside's Meals Ministry is a great way to serve behind the scenes. Our Meals Ministry Team is dedicated to providing care and support to those in our community who need it most.
Whether it's welcoming a new baby, helping during an illness, or offering comfort during a difficult time, we assist with meals to bring a bit of relief and love. Serving behind the scenes in this way is a simple yet powerful way to show Christ's love to others. For more information, whether you're interested in serving, need meals or know someone who could use some help, please please reach out to Valerie Palmer and she will help get you connected.
We recommend two options:
- Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: we offer it every fall starting in September and it's just a 9-week course that unpacks core Biblical principles that leads to lasting, beneath-the-surface transformation in your relationship with Christ.
- Bible study: we offer two Bible studies each year, starting in September and then again in February on Wednesday mornings and evenings.
We recommend you join a Sunday Equipping classes. These are offered throughout the entire ministry year and each class lasts 7-8 weeks long. We provide a variety of options in between the two services. Check out the Sunday Equipping page for more details on specific classes.
We have several opportunities to get plugged in, ranging from discipleship groups, serving groups, missions groups and more! For a list of opportunities, head over the Groups page.
