Children’s Ministry Director
WHAT DREW YOU TO WESTSIDE?
What drew us to Westside was actually the preaching, the community groups, weekly communion, their level of suffering, & meal fellowships.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING THE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY DIRECTOR?
What I enjoy about being a children’s ministry director is being able to provide resources for the parents so that they can continue to disciple their children. It changes the focus point even during our suffering times to realize that there is so much more in life and these truths can be taught at such an early age which can help to free us from the materialism of the world. My hope is that from a very young age our kids as they grow up will know some of these foundational truths and use them for arsenal God glorifying weapons to fight against the sin we all face.
