Kids Ministry: Planting Seeds of Faith

Our Kids Ministry is more than babysitting—it's a place where kids encounter Jesus through age-appropriate Bible teaching, worship, crafts, and play. We believe even the youngest children can learn about God’s love in a meaningful way.

• Nursery (0–2 years): Loving, attentive care in a clean and secure environment

• Preschool (2–5 years): Bible stories, songs, and crafts that reinforce faith-based values

• Elementary (K–5th grade): Interactive lessons, Scripture memory, and community building

• Special Needs Accommodations: We aim to support all children and families

Safety is our top priority. All volunteers are background-checked and trained, and check-in is required for every child.

Youth Ministry: Discipleship for Teens

Middle and high school can be tough. That’s why our Youth Ministry (JrHi & SrHi) offers students a place to ask questions, develop friendships, and explore the gospel in a setting that’s fun, real, and deeply rooted in truth.

• Weekly Youth Gatherings with worship, games, and teaching

• Small Groups that foster peer-to-peer discipleship

• Service Projects and local mission work

• Annual Retreats and Summer Trips to build faith and community

Whether your student is new to church or already growing in faith, they’ll find a welcoming and engaging space at West End.
