Questions about WESTkids?

FIRST TIME GUESTS

We are ready to serve your family and help your child get settled into WESTkids.  On your first Sunday you will check in at our Kids Ministry manned Check In Station.  We will ask contact information, birthdates and any allergies of your child.  Safety is VERY important for our program!  You will be given a name tag for your child and a pick-up tag with a security code that matches your child’s name tag.  One of our Welcome Team will gladly help you find the class location, assist you with the drop-off process and explain the pick-up process.

What if I lose the pick-up tag for my child?

If you lose the pick-up tag with security code, the group leader will ask you to visit the manned station to reprint a tag.  Good idea: some of our parents take pictures of their tags, which is totally okay to use for pickup.

What if my child needs me?

If your child should need you during programming, we will text you via the parent cell phone number given at registration.

Are there resources to help me follow up on what my child is learning?

We’re so glad you asked! Many times, you will be given resources upon pickup to help guide you as parents.  We also will have resources available that are printed for you.  We also communicate with parents through email and social media.

Who will teach my child?

We have the most amazing leaders!  These groups are leaders committed to helping your child have the best morning of their week.  Our policies require every group has at least two leaders.  Each leader also has undergone a background check and training for their role in WESTkids.  We want every parent to feel an overwhelming assurance that your child is safe and loved while they are in WESTkids!

SUNDAY MORNING

NURSERY

birth-3 years & those not potty-trained

It is our desire to ensure a safe and loving environment for infants and children to learn about the God who created them. You can enjoy peace of mind as you worship, learn, and grow spiritually as we provide nursery services for your child. We provide care during both the 9:30 and 11:00 service times. We will promote potty trained kids quarterly into our preschool environment.  

What to Bring: A diaper for toddlers and a diaper/diaper bag for babies. We provide the wipes.

Nursing Mothers’ Room: If you need access to the Nursing Room please see the Nursery Check In for access.

Sundays 

WESTkids

9:30 Service:
Nursery - 5th Grade
We use Brite* Curriculum
Kids will have the same story each month. They will learn the full story of the Bible, not just Bible stories. Each passage and character gets connected to God's bigger picture from Old Testament to New Testament. In every lesson, the Bible is read, heard, and connected to Jesus in ways kids can understand in their own lives. Leaders are equipped to help kids form a faith build to navigate tough cultural topics.
We have a great crew of Disciplers that are intentionally working with your kids to say:  
I believe in Jesus.
 I am becoming more like Him. 
I belong to Him forever

11:00 Service:  
Nursery and Preschool will repeat the Brite* Curriculum
Elementary has a combined experience for K-5th Grade

MomCo (formally MOPS)

We rally women to come together in their own neighborhoods and help each other through this thing called motherhood, one gathering at a time.

During each meeting we enjoy fellowship, sharing, and either a guest speaker or a craft project, alternating between meetings.

MomCoKids is provided for all children, infants through five years of age. Children are taught biblical lessons with fun, age-appropriate activities. For more information about MomCo, contact Chelsi at momco@westefc.org.

Serve in WESTkids

We believe God has called every parent to be the primary spiritual leader in their child’s life.  But we know every parent would love some help on that journey!  WESTkids is a great place to serve!  We have many opportunities for students and adults to share the love of Jesus with kids of all ages.
