Grow in a Group

,

Our faith grows when we engage scripture and engage in community. We have some great opportunities for you to connect and grow with us!

Connect & Grow

Explore which of these four different groups will best help you grow in your faith

LifeGroups

LifeGroups will kick off the week of February 18. We will have several options for you to choose. Groups will follow our Matthew Series. During each of the 6-7 weeks, groups will watch excerpts directly from the Gospel of Matthew and then discuss five questions together. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and family who may be curious about Jesus or Scripture. Want to lead a LifeGroup? Click here.

Rooted Discipleship Experience

Rooted is a discipleship journey where you will experience life transformation. This 10-week journey will lead you into seven disciplines that will grow your faith. Learn more and sign up here.

Grief Share (Care Group)

GriefShare is for those who are suffering and managing their pain from loss. Life gets complicated when we lose a loved one, a dream, an opportunity, or a relationship. The people in GriefShare want to come alongside you. GriefShare begins Jan 22. Sign up here.

Celebrate Recovery (Care Group)

Do you have a habit or a hangup in life that you just cannot overcome? Celebrate Recovery will give you the tools you need to live in the freedom God’s given you through Jesus Christ. This community is celebrating their lives of freedom together and want to come alongside you so your story can become a freedom story. Learn more here.

GroupLink is Jan 28 & Feb 4

We will have GroupLink on January 28 & February 4. Group leaders from all the groups above will be available at the end of each service to answer your questions and get you connected to their group.

Big Give + Your Opportunity to Serve

, , ,

Give now through Dec 3!

On December 3, we will have our Big Give during all of our services at Westside. However, if it is more convenient, you may give online now!

As our church family prays about what God will lead them to give, Westside has committed to give away the first $50,000 of this weekend’s offering away to organizations in Leavenworth County that are reaching the lost, caring for the least, or serving the last. We are committed to building an Unshakeable Faith and releasing God’s Unshakeable Love.

Don’t just give… Serve!
Wrapping God’s Family around those at their point of pain

We have opportunities where you can serve in our community.

Community of Hope Night Shelter: Serve a 3-hour shift at the night shelter.

Project Sunshine: Greet Richard Warren Intermediate students as they come to school.

Saturday Community Meals: Serve a meal and help defeat weekend hunger.

Westside Meet the Need: Receive emails when a family is in need of a meal. You can sign up to provide dinner.
