During the fall of 1983, Lakeland Baptist Church asked Min. Roosevelt Brown to become the pastor of a new church in Lewisville, Texas called Westside Baptist Church. Pastor Roosevelt Brown began working in January of 1984, searching the community for people who were interested in helping start a church. He held Bible studies at various homes in the community. On March 8, 1984, the church had its first worship service. In June of that year, the church began having Sunday School classes for adults, youth, and children.

1986 proved to be a good year for the church. In April, a choir was organized, in August the church had its first Vacation Bible School and in December, the church began planning for the future. In 1987, the church made a commitment to win more souls for Christ by making its presence known in the community by ministering to the needy, giving to missions, ministering to people who presently lived in Lewisville and providing activities for the youth and children.

In 1988 Westside Baptist Church established a Church Council to monitor its activities, selected its first two deacons, and organized the Brotherhood and Women's Missionary Union. During t he latter part of 1988, Pastor Roosevelt Brown and wife Tonnette relocated to California as he became a Navy Chaplain. The church organized a Pulpit Committee to select a new leader. After interviewing candidates for the Pastor's position, the Pulpit Committee made their selection and presented Min. Kenneth W. Blake to the church as Interim Pastor.

Min. Kenneth W. Blake, voted by the membership, was ordained as pastor of Westside Baptist Church on March 19, 1989. He and his wife Venita have outreached to the members of the Westside Baptist Church through spirit-filled teaching, preaching, praying, and singing. Once ordained as pastor of Westside Baptist Church, Pastor Blake organized a Nominating Committee so that more deacons and trustees could be selected. The Building Committee was organized, and we began a Fund Raising Program to acquire land for the construction of a new church building. In the spring of 1990, Westside Baptist Church acquired land, and in the fall of the same year, broke ground for our new church facility.

The dream of moving into our own building became a reality in February of 1991. Membership and participation increased greatly, and in October of 1991, the Lord put upon Pastor Blake's heart to request the church to allow him to become a full-time Pastor of Westside. The church received him with open arms because we all knew he was already giving us his full-time service.

In the fall of 1994 we expanded and opened our educational wing. This allowed us to have two Sunday morning worship services enabling our church family to grow. As we keep this momentum into the new milleniums, we ask that God continue to guide and bless us with a vision.
