In August of 2001 Joe & Megan moved to the West End of Richmond. The work immediately began with going to the community with the intention of 1) winning the lost, and 2) drawing in Christians to be discipled. Joe could often be found in front of local businesses meeting people, doing home surveys, and sharing the good news with anyone who would listen. From these divine interactions with the community a home Bible Study began in the Tanner’s home. On November 18, 2001 West End Baptist Church held its first worship service. The first service had about 35 people.
After a few moves in meeting location for Sunday Worship and Midweek, WEBC has formed into a loving community of Believer who love God and love people. In February of 2005, West End moved forward in leadership as they constituted as a church and transitioned from a church plant into an elder-led church. The first elders were called by God and ordained as elders with the affirmation of the church. In 2005 WEBC also sent out their first missionaries to the Middle East.
Today WEBC is truly seeking to be the family of God that glorifies God in all we do. We are passionate about being in love with Jesus and loving others as our God and King loves all people. God is blessing WEBC with future plans for property and He is growing His church. We look forward with anticipation to the great things God is doing, and will do, in the Life of West End Baptist Church. All praise be to our King and Lord Jesus for the great things He has done!
