At the Movies: A Summer Series You Won’t Want to Miss!
Experience Church Like Never Before. Faith + Film Every Weekend This June.
Every summer, Westside Family Church transforms Sunday messages into something cinematic, creative, and deeply meaningful. Through the power of storytelling, we explore blockbuster films and uncover timeless Biblical truths within them. It’s one part message, one part movie - and all heart.
Jesus often taught in parables, stories that connected spiritual truth to everyday life. In At the Movies, we do the same.
Whether you’re a lifelong churchgoer or just curious about faith, this series is designed for you.

Why Movies?
Because stories stick. Jesus didn’t tell people what to think—He told stories that made them feel, reflect, and change.
A“Jesus did not tell them anything without illustrating it with a story.” – Matthew 13:34
Movies are the modern parables of our time. And the story of God? It’s written between the lines of some of our favorite films.
What to Expect
Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Kids and students will have their own fun, age-specific experiences.
Free Popcorn & Candy: Yep, church really feels like the movies.
Relevant Messages: Each teaching will help you grow spiritually and see God’s truth in a fresh, relatable way.
Invite-Worthy Moments: It’s the perfect series to bring a friend.
