Kids Essentials • Salvation & Baptism
Explore Faith Together: Kids Essentials Classes
November 5, Salvation & Baptism • November 12, Communion
We love that our kids ask questions; it means they are growing in stature, awareness, and knowledge. Sometimes, they ask questions we know the answers to, and sometimes, we might know the answer but find it hard to answer in a way they will understand. In Westside Kids Ministry, we get asked a lot of questions, and we love to take time to answer their questions thoroughly. Sometimes, we need more time to converse and discuss the questions. This November, we would like to invite kids (1st-5th grade) and their parents to a salvation/baptism/communion class.
This will be a two-week course to discuss salvation, baptism, and why we take communion. You and your child will learn the meaning of salvation, baptism, and communion, why each is important, and do so in a fun, family-friendly environment. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and, hopefully, many answers to the questions of salvation, baptism, and communion.

Precepts: Matthew Part 2 • LifeStudy
Encounter Jesus: The Messiah and His Kingdom
PART 2: Thursdays, Oct. 23rd - Dec. 18th • WFC Lenexa East Venue
Who is the promised Messiah, the King who will sit on the throne of David? What is His kingdom? What is the character and lifestyle of those who are a part of this kingdom?
In Matthew Part 1, journey through the towns of Galilee and witness Jesus’ miracles—healing the sick, calming the sea, casting out demons. Listen as He teaches about the Kingdom of Heaven and calls His followers to live by a higher standard. This study brings you face-to-face with the long-awaited Jewish Messiah and invites you to evaluate: Does my life reflect the values of His kingdom?
In Matthew Part 2, dive deeper into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Explore how people responded to Him, why His message provoked such strong reactions, and what ultimately led to the cross. Reflect on the power of the resurrection in your own life and accept the challenge to boldly share the gospel. If Jesus came today, would He be recognized?
Childcare is available. Drop-off begins at 9:15am each week.
