At Westside Kids, we are passionate about investing in CHILDREN. We present Biblical truths in accessible and creative ways, so that children can learn about the love of Jesus Christ. On Sunday mornings, kids will play games, sing songs, engage in crafts and activities, but most importantly, kids will be taught a Bible lesson geared towards their specific age group.
Ages 0-3
Westside provides a safe and secure atmosphere for young children, and we absolutely love taking care of the little ones.
k-5th grades
On Sunday Mornings, K-5th grades start together in a worship service geared for kids. Any given week the children could be playing games, singing songs and watching videos. After the large group finishes, the kids split of into age determined group in order to have a small group, age specific lesson and activity.

1. It's my child's first time attending Westside Kids, how will they know where to go or what to do?
At Westside Kids, we LOVE first time visitors. Check in at the Westside Kids station and the volunteers will answer questions and escort your child to their classroom. Our staff, teachers, and even students are trained to look for visitors and make an extra effort in welcoming, comforting and helping visitors.
2. My child is attending Westside Kids with a friend or family member who is in a different age group. Can they attend stay in the same group?
Our curriculum is age focused, so we encourage kids to attend the service with their appropriate age group. However, if your child is uncomfortable attending their group alone, they may stay with their friend or family member; we just ask that both children attend the group for the youngest child. This allows both children to fully understand and engage in the lesson being taught.
3. As a parent, can I be my child’s classroom teacher?
Many parents are involved with their children in Westside Kids, and we are always excited to welcome new volunteers who love pouring into the lives of their children. All of our volunteers have been background checked and we do limit access to children's areas accordingly.

Orange KIDS
Westside Kids teaches an exciting curriculum called 252 Kids from the creators at Orange. 252 Kids aims to help model our identity in Jesus through planting three basic truths in the heart of each child:
-
I need to make the wise choice.
-
I can trust God no matter what.
-
I should treat others how I want to be treated.
These truths are based upon how Jesus himself grew as a child. Luke 2:52 says that Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
