Choose 8:00am: A Calmer Start for Your Family
Choose 8:00am: A Calmer Start for Your Family
Every child is different. Some kids thrive in a room filled with energy and activity. Others feel more comfortable when there are fewer people, less noise, and a little more room to settle in.
If that sounds like your child, our 8:00am service may be a great fit for your family.
Our 8:00am grade-school ministry typically offers a smaller group and a calmer environment while providing the same safe, engaging, and gospel-centered KiDS experience offered at our other services. Your child will build relationships with caring leaders, connect with other kids, and learn more about Jesus.
Attending at 8:00am also gives your family a great start to the morning—and more of your Sunday together after church.
Donuts Make Mornings Better!
Beginning Sunday, September 13, grade-school kids attending at 8:00am can enjoy a donut to start their morning.
The donuts are a fun reason to try the service, but we hope your family discovers something even better: 8:00am may provide the environment and rhythm that helps your child—and your entire family—have a great Sunday.
Could 8:00am Be a Better Fit?
Consider choosing 8:00am if:
Your child is more comfortable in a smaller group.
Your child prefers fewer people and less activity.
Your family enjoys getting an earlier start.
You would like more of your Sunday available after church.
You’re simply ready to try a different Sunday rhythm.
Come try the 8:00am service and see whether it’s a good fit for your family.
Choose 8:00am. A smaller group. A calmer start. The same great KiDS experience—and donuts!
Westside KiDS is available Sundays at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00am.
Pre-register your child before your first visit.
