To Love and Follow Jesus

We love Jesus so much: He is our everything: He gave His life for us and offers His love to us. It is truly unrepayable. We will spend each day finding ways to show Him how much we love Him as we follow how He lived and honor His instructions for us each day.We love Him because He first loved us. [1 John 4:19]Then [Jesus] said to [them] all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. [Luk 9:23 NKJV]Jesus said: If you love Me, keep My commandments. [Jhn 14:15 NKJV]

To introduce others to Him

We want to share Jesus with the Westminster community. We know the ONE that loves them more than they could imagine. We know that if someone can have even one real experience with Him, everything changes! His Love changed us, and we know Jesus can change everything for them!Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! [Psalm 34:8]

Christian Way Church is more than a congregation in a building. It's an Apostolic community of believers who know Jesus is the WAY to true joy, peace, and life-changing power.It's people who have been forever changed by His love and now live with purpose.It's people who follow Him because they have experienced His better way.It's people who share His love with others.Whether we gather in a church building, a house, a park, or wherever Jesus leads us, when genuine followers come together, that is the Christian Way Church.

What We Believe

There is one God: invisible and infinite (Deuteronomy 6:4), who has revealed Himself as our Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God incarnate, manifested in the flesh—fully God and fully man (Colossians 2:9). He promises to dwell within those who are born again through His Spirit.

The Bible is the perfect and supreme Word of God. It has no mistakes or contradictions and is the only guide for how to be saved and live as a Christian (Matthew 4:4). Even though people wrote it, each word was supernaturally inspired by the Holy Spirit, which makes it extremely special.

Because of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, we are all born with a sinful nature, making a Savior necessary (Romans 3:23). Salvation is a gift received by grace through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). It cannot be earned through actions. It is only received through faith and devoted commitment to the Lord Jesus and the Bible (John 15:10).

The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repenting, which means turning away from our sins (death to sin). Then, we are baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ (burial). Finally, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) (Romans 6:4, Acts 2:37-39).

The Church was started on the day of Pentecost and is the body and bride of Jesus Christ. It continues His work here on earth. It is dedicated to the teachings of Christ and strives to follow the Word of God. The Church's mission is to proclaim the entire gospel to the whole world (Mark 16:15). Through love, truth, and unity, the Church seeks to glorify God and share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ with all people (Acts 2:41-47).

As Christians, our calling is to love God and others, live our lives following His will — both inwardly and outwardly (2 Corinthians 7:1) — and to worship God joyfully (Mark 12:28-31). The supernatural gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) should be evident in our lives, as they are still active and part of the church today.

Miracles have not stopped because Jesus Christ has not changed (Hebrews 13:8). He shed His blood to save our souls, heal our bodies, and bring peace to our minds (Psalm 103:1-4). Believers are told to pray for the sick (Mark 16:17-18).

Jesus Christ will come back to take His bride, the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). At the end, there will be a final resurrection and judgment. Those who are righteous will receive eternal life, while those who are unrighteous will face eternal death and separation from God (Revelation 20:11-15).

Pastor Ryan and Megan

Ryan and Megan

In 2020, Pastor Ryan — then serving as an associate pastor on Florida’s Space Coast — had a vivid dream from God. Over time, he came to understand that this dream pointed to a specific place where God was calling him and his wife, Megan.Over the next few years, they traveled to several locations in Florida, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Then, in December 2022, after their third visit to the D.C. area, Ryan felt Jesus clearly reveal Westminster, Maryland, as their destination. Suddenly, the meaning of the dream became clear. When they visited Westminster in April 2023, they immediately sensed this was where God was leading them.In August 2023, Ryan and Megan moved to Westminster. They are here because of Jesus’ love for the people of this city and HIS plan to establish a church focused on transforming lives through His supernatural power and immeasurable love. He died so that the people of Westminster could live a life of healing and purpose!
