Strong ministry is built through prayerful conversation and shared wisdom.

Our Student Ministry Leadership will gather to discuss the direction and next steps of Westside Student Ministry as we move forward together. This meeting brings together the Student Minister Search Committee and the Westside Youth Committee for intentional conversation, prayer, and planning.

Some investments last far beyond a summer.
They shape hearts.
They strengthen faith.
They open doors for God to move.

All February long, our kids will be raising support to attend summer camp—a place where many children hear God’s voice more clearly, take steps of faith, and grow in ways that stay with them long after the week is over.

This fundraiser is about more than covering a cost.
It’s about investing in the spiritual lives of our kids and helping remove barriers that might otherwise keep them from going.

 Kingdom Kids Camp Fundraiser Calendar
 All February Long

Each child will have their own calendar throughout the month, and supporters can give at any time in February. The calendar is simple: each date corresponds to a dollar amount, and supporters choose a day and give the amount listed.

Invest in a kid’s faith. Help send them to camp.
And be part of what God is doing in the next generation. 

Kingdom work is often funded in simple ways.
So stay a little longer this Sunday—because what happens after worship can make an impact far beyond our walls.

Join us for Jambalaya for Guatemala Missions, a simple meal with a greater purpose. Every plate served helps support Kingdom work in Guatemala—building relationships, opening doors for ministry, and sharing the love of Jesus.

Every season of ministry leaves its mark. Some are long. Some are brief. All are meaningful.
Join us as we gather to say thank you and send Bro. Mason Rose with prayer and encouragement as he prepares to move to North Carolina and begin a new ministry position. Mason faithfully served our church as an Interim, and we want to take time to honor his service and send him off with a blessing.

This will be a relaxed time to share gratitude, speak encouragement, and entrust the next chapter to the Lord.

Going Away Reception for Bro. Mason Rose

Come help us say thank you.
Come pray him forward.
Come be part of sending one of our own with God's blessings.

Who is Jesus? The real Jesus. Not the one painted by our culture or politics or latest fads. Not the Hollywood or Headline version. But the real Jesus as revealed to us in the Scriptures. Beginning January 4, we're going to take another opportunity to meet Him as we’ll start a new Sunday sermon series through the Gospel of Mark, walking verse by verse through the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Each Sunday, we’ll open God’s Word and let the story unfold as Mark tells it—clear, powerful, and centered on Christ. Some journeys are meant to be taken together—slowly, faithfully, one step at a time. One verse at a time as we meet the Real Jesus.

What makes this journey special is where it leads.

As we move through chapters 1–10, our path will naturally bring us to Mark 11 on Palm Sunday, where we’ll pause to reflect on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. From there, we’ll slow down even more during Holy Week, gathering each night to focus on the final chapters—one chapter at a time—before celebrating the resurrection together on Easter Sunday, when we’ll conclude the series.

Sermon Series: The Gospel of Mark
Beginning Sunday, January 4
Every Sunday at 10:30 AM
Concludes on Easter Sunday

Holy Week Bible Studies
Monday–Friday at 6:00 PM
One chapter each night

Bring your Bible and a notebook. Stay for the entire journey.
Let’s walk through the Gospel together—toward the cross and the crown as we meet the Real Jesus.
