When you arrive at Westside Kids, you can expect:

Safe Check-In & Check-Out

All children are securely checked in through Planning Center Check-Ins to help us maintain a safe environment for every family.

Loving & Screened Volunteers

Every Westside Kids volunteer completes:

• A background check

• Safety training

• Classroom and curriculum training

Age-Appropriate Learning

Children are grouped by age and developmental stage to help them engage with the lesson in meaningful ways.

Fun & Engaging Environment

Our classrooms are designed to help kids learn through creativity, movement, discussion, worship, and play.

Wonder Ink is a Bible-centered curriculum designed to help children experience the wonder of God through:

• Interactive Bible teaching

• Videos and storytelling

• Hands-on activities

• STEM experiments

• Scripture memory

• Discussion questions

• Games and worship

Every lesson connects kids to God’s Big Story from Genesis to Revelation while helping them understand who God is and who they are in Him.

Westside Kids currently serves children from walking/potty-trained age through ages 12–13 during our Sunday 11AM service. Our goal is to create a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate environment where every child can grow in their understanding of God’s Word and feel loved, welcomed, and supported.

To help ensure both safety and effective learning, younger children may be separated from older children during portions of service, activities, or lessons so each age group can learn and participate at their developmental level.

As children grow older, we also desire to help them transition into the life of the larger church body. Because of this, we encourage students ages 13 and up to begin regularly attending main service, where teaching and discussion are geared toward their level of maturity and spiritual growth.

To help keep students engaged during service, note printouts and sermon resources may be available to encourage participation, reflection, and biblical understanding during the message.

We encourage all parents and guardians to review our Westside Kids Parent Handbook for classroom policies, safety procedures, check-in details, and expectations.
