kid Ministries Westgate Kids Ministry is focused on the discipleship of children, their parents, and the volunteers who serve. We want to partner with and equip parents to raise a generation of children who desire to grow with Jesus, engage in community, and reach their neighbors and the nations. Safety Safety is our priority, which means we take steps to keep your kids safe before they even get here. Our dedicated volunteers are screened and have had a background check. Security volunteers are in place to monitor our Westgate Kids entrances. We desire to provide the safest environment so that you, our parents, can have peace of mind that your kids are well cared for.

Here kids will discover how the Gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation. When kids truly experience the Gospel, their hearts are transformed. To learn more about the curriculum we use to teach your kids, visit The Gospel Project. Early Childhood / Preschool We strive to provide a place for your little ones, birth - pre-k, to discover their loving Savior through age-appropriate Bible stories, crafts, games, and snacks. In these environments they will encounter God and His Word using hands-on activities and play-centered learning. Sarah K. Early Childhood Director sarahk@westgatechapel.org Elementary Westgate Kids has created two separate elementary classes designed to allow kids to learn about God in the way He designed them too! 9:00am – Is a small group environment, where kids have the opportunity to go deeper as they participate in worship, live Bible story teaching and small group, age-appropriate discipleship, activities, and games. 10:45am – Is a lively, fun, large group environment where all elementary kids participate in fun group games, an extended time of worship, Bible lessons, object lessons and age-appropriate discipleship activities. Your kids are welcome to come to one service or both where they will encounter that week’s lesson in two different ways. Denine S. Elementary Director denines@westgatechapel.org Mary Megan P.
