Westside Kids

Discipleship and shepherding shouldn't begin with older children. We firmly believe that it is essential we create an environment that enables us to disciple all our children.

Service Times
Beginning Sunday, September 8th:

Adult worship at 8:30a and 11:00a.

  • Children in 3rd grade and up participate in adult worship.
  • Children in 2nd grade and below can be checked into Westside Kids for the full duration of the service.

10:00a Equipping Hour

  • All children and adults are invited to participate in our 10:00a Equipping Hour. Akin to a Sunday School model. Adults can choose from a range of topics—taught in 6-12 week blocks.
  • Adults can also elect to enjoy our cafe and lounge while children freely engage in the 10:00a equipping hour.

To ensure adults can participate in the full gamut of Sunday programming, children are welcome to stay with us in Westside Kids for both services.

Parking

Families are encourage to park towards the front of our building—the side closest to Collier Rd. A limited number of designated spots for new families are reserved at the front of the building.

Check In + Safety

We encourage you to check-in your children at the very front of our building, the side closest to Collier Rd. A dedicated greeter and check-in volunteer will be available to help walk you through the process.

Westside uses KidCheck to ensure all children within our care are safe and accounted for.

All doors leading into the Westside Kids area are locked. To gain entry, all adults must present a KidCheck badge (acquired during check in) to one of our designated Safety volunteers stationed at the doors.

Bathrooms

Westside Kids bathrooms are monitored at all times and are for children only.

Snacks

We have healthy snacks, including gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free, available throughout the morning.

If your child has a food allergy, you can notify us ahead of time or add a special note to your child's profile at time of check in.

Car + Table Talk

Want to dive deeper than "how was Westside Kids today?" Look no further than our weekly WK discussion guide, Car + Table Talk. Available Fall and Spring.

Baptism

We believe baptism is God's sign that a person is included among the people of God. Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus' command, but it does not guarantee anyone's salvation.

Baptism FAQ

Communicants Class

This class prepares young believers to publicly profess their faith and become communing members. Through interactive lessons, children explore church membership and communion.
