Our Mission is to Proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord to everyone; locally, nationally, and internationally.
Located in Scottsbluff, Nebraska and serving Scotts Bluff County, we see ourselves as a missions outpost to our immediate area. We strive to reach the world with the message of Jesus, starting here at home.
Embrace Grace and Embrace Life are faith based support groups for single moms, and families facing unplanned pregnancy. Embrace Grace ministries builds relationships with local community resources who serve young expecting mothers, including Regaional West Physician’s Clinic – The Women’s Center, Options Pregnancy Center, and CAPWYN / WIC who help us connect with moms who need support.
Women are invited for a weekly support group where they can build relationships with other moms, with a group of mentors, and WestWay Church family who supports them through various ministry teams on Wednesday nights, including free dinner & childcare. Embrace Grace includes a baby shower for our pregnant moms, helping them get what they need for baby’s first year. Embrace Life Classes support single moms in Embrace Life to equip and empower moms for parenting, family relationships, dating, employment and following their dreams. The ministry also includes a completely free Baby Boutique where moms can shop, donate and trade clothes, diapers, baby items and maternity clothing.
WestWay supports this local mission because we believe that all life is precious, and we should love both mom and baby through pregnancy, delivery, all the way through their parenting journey with their children, no matter the circumstances. At Embrace Grace & Embrace Life, no single mom walks alone!
WestWay’s missions strategy includes preparing the next generation of church leaders. In addition to offering a scholarship to any WestWay student attending Bible college, a portion of our regular support goes to Summit Christian College. Summit students have the opportunity to connect with the faculty and staff on a level that is impossible in most colleges, and they benefit from the global ministry experiences of their professors and immediate opportunity to apply what they’re taught in the classroom.
Our partnership with Summit Christian College includes our pastors and staff serving as ministry mentors for students.
WestWay’s support enables Summit to offer a Biblically sound education without requiring students to take on overwhelming debt loads in order to graduate.
Christian Student Fellowship is a non-denominational campus ministry in Nebraska and South Dakota.
WestWay Christian Church supports John Mulholland III as he ministers to international students on the campus of the University of Nebraska in Kearney.
Through CSF, John connects with the hundreds of international students on the UNK campus who love to have friendships and conversations with American students.
This is an amazing opportunity to make new friends, learn new cultures and languages, and all while loving a student from another country with the love of Jesus.

The aim of Northwest Haiti Christian Mission is to “provide sustainable, real support to Haitians in need, enriching their lives both spiritually and physically.” Their website does a great job of filling in the details, but we’ve loved being able to be a part of their work.
Each year, we send teams to NWHCM to help in their medical ministry… or one of the orphanages… or a new church plant… or the elderly care center… or the Bible college… (seriously the list of what is going on through NWHCM is awesome and you should check out their site!). You can sign up for their updates here.
