When You Pray • LifeStudy

You're not alone.
Prayer connects us to God, but it isn't always easy. Join us for this powerful 7-session study where six beloved Bible teachers guide you through prayers in Scripture that will inspire your own conversations with God.
What you'll discover:

How to pray effectively alone and in community
There's no single "right way" to pray
As you draw near to God through prayer, experience your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

One Life Child Sponsorship
Transform a Life: OneLife Child Sponsorship
Never in history have there been more children—2 billion children comprise the 7 billion people living on our planet. Many of these children live in developing countries without clean water, sufficient food, safe shelter, an adult advocate, medical care, or access to education. Even more heartbreaking, too many have little opportunity to experience the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. Orphaned, homeless, and vulnerable, they face daily struggles and hopelessness.
You can make a difference. Through OneLife, your commitment of just $42 per month can transform a child’s life—providing food, shelter, education, healthcare, and spiritual guidance. Sponsor a child online or stop by the Commons during church to make a personal connection and bring hope to a life in need. Stand in the gap, be part of something bigger, and help a child experience love, care, and a future filled with hope.

Precepts: Matthew Part 2 • LifeStudy
Encounter Jesus: The Messiah and His Kingdom
PART 1: Thursdays, Sept. 4th - Oct. 16th • WFC Lenexa Room 218
PART 2: Thursdays, Oct. 23rd - Dec. 18th • WFC Lenexa Room 218
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?

Moms Together is a group for all moms, in all stages, and any ages. We use our time together to encourage, to share our stories, to grow in our faith, to share God's word, and to pray for the moms and their families.
Motherhood is: rewarding, challenging, fun, exhausting, a privilege, an adventure that's best lived out with Jesus at our sides!
We are better moms when we gather together to support, encourage, sit with one another, and celebrate each other. Moms Together provides an environment where growth in motherhood and spiritual development unite, creating an opportunity to grow in any season of motherhood. Whether you are an expectant mother, a momma already, a seasoned mom, or a grandmother, there is a place for you in Moms Together.
We offer two meeting times so you can find the time and location that best fits your schedule.

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.

Parent Dedication
Parent Dedication at Westside Family Church
Parent Dedication is a special moment set aside for parents to dedicate themselves, their child, and their parenting efforts to God. Our collective hope is that when their child is old enough to understand, they, too, will choose to follow Christ and be baptized. As a church, we're standing with you as you take on the responsibility of parenting a child's heart and walking with them as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Precepts: Matthew Part 1 • LifeStudy
Encounter Jesus: The Messiah and His Kingdom
PART 1: Thursdays, Sept. 4th - Oct. 16th • WFC Lenexa Room 218
PART 2: Thursdays, Oct. 23rd - Dec. 18th • WFC Lenexa Room 218
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?

Break Free from the Busyness and Embrace God’s Pace
Sundays, August 17 - September 14 • 9:30-10:30a • WFC Lenexa Community Room
We are all busy—but at what cost?
Some of us can't remember the last time we rested or even had free time. Our busyness can feel productive, but it is a toxic distraction, sapping our spiritual, physical, and emotional vitality. It may seem like we have no choice but to live at a frantic pace, but God has a better path for us.
Join us for this five-part series as we address one of the greatest threats to our spiritual lives: hurry. Instead of allowing our calendars and screens to control our lives, Jesus offers us a new rhythm of life, overflowing with grace, peace, and beauty.
