We love Jesus, become more like Jesus,
and share Jesus when we serve one another.
God’s family serves one another. This is how we love one another and create a space where people are accepted, challenged, and encouraged to follow Jesus. If you are not currently serving in a ministry on Sunday, will you prayerfully consider serving?
At Westside, we believe you look more like Jesus when you serve others! If stepping out in faith to serve is your Next Step, we've got plenty of opportunities to help you do just that. From singing songs with children, welcoming new families, brewing fresh coffee, to managing social media, troubleshooting IT issues, assisting with administrative and communication needs, as well as many other areas of service that align with your talents and passion. Learn more about the various leadership roles waiting for you!
