Decision Making
The Westbury Baptist Family Church uses a Congregational Model of governance (collective discernment of the will of God).
The church members have final authority in deciding every matter which affects the church’s life.
The governing group of the Church is the Leadership Group who, together, are responsible for the oversight of operations and making sure it is working towards achieving its purpose in a way that also meets its ethical, legal and financial obligations.

David Waterhouse
For the last couple of years we’ve had a stand at the show. People can ask questions and take away some written information. The children love the balloons and little ‘show bag’ that they receive.
The balloons are very popular.
Children and adults help out.
