CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
THERE CANNOT BE A HARVEST UNLESS YOU PLANT SEEDS.
At West Side you will find that there are a variety of ways to be fed by the study of Scripture and other appropriate materials which are based on Scripture and Scripture teachings.
In all of the study opportunities, you don’t need to come with a working knowledge of Scripture. Your questions are welcome. We are all learners.
Copies of “UPPER ROOM” are usually available in the entrance area of the church building. It is a devotional lifestyle magazine.

SUNDAY SCHOOL: Suspended during revision
Christian Education for children from the point when parents are comfortable to leave them and attend worship up to 12 years of age on Sundays takes place each Sunday morning at 10:00 AM from September through May. The children start at the worship service in the sanctuary, and are dismissed from there during the Worship Service to go to Sunday School. Children receive a basic knowledge and a joyful sense of belonging to Jesus Christ. Our policy is to have two adult teachers for each class, with adequate substitutes to assure a high quality educational experience. West Side has adopted and enforces a Safe Sanctuary Policy. Our plan is to be to offer Sunday School (Bible Study) for families in the future.
