Raising spiritually-grounded kids may be harder now than it has ever been. It is vital that parents and churches partner together to help kids feel and understand the love of Jesus before they face the challenges of the teenage and adult years. We are committed to creating engaging experiences designed to form meaningful relationships and the biblical worldview needed to build a strong spiritual foundation.
Westgate VBS
June 24-28 | 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us on a trek through the northwoods as we come together for a week of relationship-building, fun, and spiritual growth. Together we’ll learn that God’s truth never changes as we trust Jesus to guide us on our path.
Registration is closed for VBS 2024.

Nursery & expecting parents
Our infant and toddler nursery rooms (upper level) will be staffed with loving volunteers who are ready to care and pray for the youngest in our church while playing in a safe and comfortable environment.
Questions? Contact Hannah at hannah.campbell@westgatemn.church.
Pre-K & K
Kids 2 1/2 years old through kindergarten meet in our preschool wing (lower level) and participate in a time of developmentally-appropriate play, worship, and learning. They will explore Bible stories, practice talking to God, and receive encouragement from our team of dedicated leaders.
Questions? Contact Erin at erin.lankford@westgatemn.church.
Elementary
1st-5th grade students should be prepared to grow spiritually and connect deeply during an energizing time of worship, teaching and discussion! We work to create an environment (lower level) that effectively teaches biblical wisdom, encourages personal connection with God, and forms real relationships.
Questions? Contact Brianne Loftsgard at brianne.loftsgard@westgatemn.church.
We love Wednesdays! Kids will enjoy a variety of faith-filled, relationship-building activities, while parents will be blessed by conversations structured around a variety of relevant topics throughout the year.

Family resources
We are in this together. Our church is committed to partnering with parents and grandparents as they raise their kids. We are developing a growing list of projects designed to achieve this goal. We invite you to check out the Family Resources Wall in the church lobby, join a parenting learning circle, or find your way down to the gym with your kids after Sunday service to connect with other parents.
