Westgate Women
Westgate Women exists to empower women in all stages of life and experience to identify, and put into action, the unique gifts God has given each of us. Together, we are learning to live every day in fulfillment of our God-given purpose, guided by the Holy Spirit and rooted in the Word of God. Through prayer, studying the Bible, mentorships, group activities, and gatherings like fellowships and conferences, our main aim is to walk together in Knowing God, Being Transformed, and Doing His Work.
Westgate Cookbook
It has been quite some time since our last Westgate Chapel cookbook…1997! It is time for a new one. We are seeking your favorite recipes, family recipes, holiday recipes, and even secret recipes. Our goal is to have the cookbook ready for the Holiday Bazaar on October 12, 2024, which means we need all submissions by August 1st. Please TYPE OUT your recipe including your name, the recipe name, and the category it belongs to. Please be detailed in the instructions. Submit your recipe to a member of the Westgate Women Leadership Team, or drop it off at the main office labeled Westgate Women, or email it to ‘Lena Ehlert at [email protected].

Women's Intercessory Prayer
Tuesdays from 6:00-6:55pm, Room 338
Wednesdays from 7-8pm via Zoom
led by Barbara Snow
Scripture is clear on how powerful and important prayer is in the lives of believers! It tells us to “pray without ceasing” and to “bring EVERYTHING to Him in prayer, with thanksgiving.” This women’s group meets together before Tuesday Night Prayer for one hour to pray for whatever is on our hearts. Our community is not limited to Tuesdays! Join us on Zoom every Wednesday, share a time-sensitive request in our group chat, or meet with Barbara one-on-one for individual prayer times.
Ablaze
Second Friday of each month, 6:30pm
Anderson Room (320)
Led by Amanda Hostetler
Ablaze is a monthly women’s gathering, designed to create a welcoming space for all women of Westgate to come together in worship, be spiritually nourished, and build deep connections with others.

Who We Are
We are the women of Westgate Chapel, a diverse group of individuals including wives, mothers, teachers, administrators, and artists. We are dedicated to living our lives according to the teachings of the Lord in a world that often seems chaotic and confusing. We seek to follow His path and embrace the opportunities He has in store for us, both as individuals and as a community of Westgate Women.
We believe that God has given us unique gifts, strength, and courage for this specific moment in history.
Our mission is to create a welcoming environment for everyone. We support and uplift each other through prayer, encouragement, and mentorship, always relying on the guidance of His Word. We enjoy coming together to have fun, engage in prayer and worship, and share laughter while appreciating each other’s individual qualities and interests.
