Coming Up
Baptism
We believe baptism is the celebration of an important decision to recognize and publicly declare Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior over your life. While it is not necessary for salvation, this step of obedience demonstrates surrender to God.
What We Do
ONE NIGHT
One Nights are some of the most exciting nights of the school year! Students can expect a high-energy evening filled with fun, worship, and a powerful message centered on Jesus. It’s the perfect opportunity to invite the people they’re already doing life with and give them a chance to experience Jesus alongside them. These nights are created to be a welcoming environment, One Nights create space for people from all walks of life to encounter the love of Jesus. Never underestimate what God can do through one relationship, one invitation, and one night.
DINNER PARTIES
More than just a night to eat. It’s a night to experience Jesus together in a fresh and relational way. Each night includes worship, a shared meal, Scripture, and meaningful conversation. Students will gather in their communities to ask questions, wrestle with what they’re learning, share stories, and discover what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. Our hope is that students leave not just knowing more about Jesus, but knowing Him more deeply and learning to follow Him together.
COMMUNITIES
Communities are our small groups that meet on Wednesday nights, and they are one of the best parts of being a student here. Our communities exist so that every student has a place to belong, people know their name and story, and friendships go deeper than the surface. In our communities, students share life, wrestle with real questions, open God’s Word, and pray for one another. We believe faith is not meant to be lived alone. It grows and comes alive when we follow Jesus together.
SERVE
At Westside Students, we believe every student is the church of today not the future. Every student has a place to belong and a way to make a difference. God has uniquely created each of us with gifts, passions, and experiences that can be used to impact others.
