Discover your place to Serve
Sunday Morning Service Opportunities
Serving others is a profound privilege of following Jesus, who came "not to be served, but to serve" (Mark 10:45). It's one of the most transformative ways we grow in grace, deepen relationships, and further God's kingdom. At Westside, a great place to start serving is on Sunday mornings. Check out some of our opportunities.

Pray for our team as we long to build lasting relationships with Thai people. Pray that God would help us to learn the language quickly so that we can connect with people in their heart language.

We highly recommend you join a neighborhood Community Group.
Grace Groups offer just that! They are meant to draw you into life-on-life discipleship and mutually encouraging friendship.
Westside's Meals Ministry is a great way to serve behind the scenes. Our Meals Ministry Team is dedicated to providing care and support to those in our community who need it most.
Whether it's welcoming a new baby, helping during an illness, or offering comfort during a difficult time, we assist with meals to bring a bit of relief and love. Serving behind the scenes in this way is a simple yet powerful way to show Christ's love to others. For more information, whether you're interested in serving, need meals or know someone who could use some help, please please reach out to Valerie Palmer and she will help get you connected.
We recommend two options:
- Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: we offer it every fall starting in September and it's just a 9-week course that unpacks core Biblical principles that leads to lasting, beneath-the-surface transformation in your relationship with Christ.
- Bible study: we offer two Bible studies each year, starting in September and then again in February on Wednesday mornings and evenings.
We have several opportunities to get plugged in, ranging from discipleship groups, serving groups, missions groups and more! For a list of opportunities, head over the Groups page.
