Discover the Power of Worship in Spirit and Truth!

In a world filled with distractions, our students are constantly surrounded by influences competing for their hearts and minds. Our latest series, "Worship in Spirit and Truth," is designed to help them see worship as so much more than just singing—it's a lifestyle rooted in purpose, resistance, and transformation.

Join us as we explore what true worship means, breaking free from the enemy’s tactics and building a foundation that says, "You are worthy of it all." Through practical tools and spiritual insights, we’ll empower students to embrace worship that not only honors God but also strengthens them in their faith journey.

Who is this for? This series is ideal for students seeking a deeper understanding of worship, spiritual growth, and a way to live out their faith beyond the songs they sing.

Surving the Holidays GriefShare & DivorceCare

The holiday season is filled with joy, but can also be a difficult season for some. Adjusting to a divorce or grieving the loss of a loved one can impact you in ways you don't anticipate. Join us for resources and encouragement as you prepare to navigate the holiday season.

This is a one-day class that costs $10. The cost includes a book and brunch.

*Children's programming is during the event so people have a place for their children if needed.

At Westside, we are committed to meeting people in their place of pain, and because we know that trauma impacts so many, we offer a one-day Trauma Competent Caregiver course. This training is for anyone who wants to demonstrate compassion, love, and empathy to their community.

This one-day training offers insight into the impact of trauma on individuals and how it manifests in attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. You will leave this workshop with helpful techniques and approaches to care for individuals who have experienced trauma.

Event Fee:
$25

Check-in starts at 8:30 a. Training will begin promptly at 9 a and end promptly at 3p.

Class Instructors

We love that our kids ask questions; it means they are growing in stature, awareness, and knowledge. Sometimes, they ask questions we know the answers to, and sometimes, we might know the answer but find it hard to answer in a way they will understand. In Westside Kids Ministry, we get asked a lot of questions, and we love to take time to answer their questions thoroughly. Sometimes, we need more time to converse and discuss the questions. This November, we would like to invite kids (1st-5th grade) and their parents to a salvation/baptism/communion class.

This will be a two-week course (1st-week salvation/baptism and 2nd-week communion) to discuss salvation, baptism, and why we take communion. You and your child will learn the meaning of salvation, baptism, and communion, why each is important, and do so in a fun, family-friendly environment. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and, hopefully, many answers to the questions of salvation, baptism, and communion.

Jesus teaches us how to pray.

There is much more to our prayer lives than most of us are experiencing. It is more than only bringing our needs to God when we are in crisis. Jesus teaches us the simplicity, richness, and transformational power of prayer as the cornerstone of our ever-growing relationship with God.

Parent Dedication is a special moment set aside for parents to dedicate themselves, their child, and their parenting efforts to God. Our collective hope is that when their child is old enough to understand, they, too, will choose to follow Christ and be baptized. As a church, we're standing with you as you take on the responsibility of parenting a child's heart and walking with them as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Calling all 6th-12th graders! Westside's Student Ministry team invites you to gather with us every Wednesday for MDWK! It's a fun evening that mixes it up with relevant Biblical teaching, live music and worship, and great friends! 

The Bible is the most widely sold and stolen book in history. Some people see it as a collection of outdated and irrelevant stories, while others see it as inspired and holy. Regardless, there’s no denying the Bible's influence on human history. Throughout this series, we will think deeply about why we should read the Bible, how we can study the Bible, and what we should do with the Bible.
