Westwood Kids Ministry Values
Supporting the mission of the broader church in every sense, Westwood Kids partners with families to raise up the next generation of UNLIKELY PEOPLE PURSUING UNCOMMON GOOD.
These four spiritual principles give Westwood Kids a strategy to help kids grow spiritually:
SPEND TIME WITH GOD
Kids grow in their relationship with God through personal times of prayer, reading Scripture, reflection and worship
SPEND TIME WITH OTHERS
Kids need to be engaged in healthy community and godly relationships with others – people who share our beliefs, as well as with people who don’t.
USE YOUR GIFTS
Kids need to understand how God uniquely made them and then use those unique qualities to love god, love others, and impact the world around them.
SHARE YOUR STORY
Kids need to make faith a regular, everyday, go-to- topic of conversation as they learn to connect their stories with God’s story and then share their story with others.
As our kids develop these four spiritual principles in their lives, they will begin to see themselves as UNLIKELY PEOPLE PURSUING UNCOMMON GOOD – growing in a deeper relationship with God, engaging in healthy community with others, serving their church and community with their God-given unique gifts, and sharing their story with the world.
