Parents!

West End Youth is all about growing in Christ and having fun! We long for students to belong and be connected to their peers and leaders. 

Our mission is to make a place where your kids can have fun, be safe, and grow in Christ. We’re led by committed staff and volunteers who love to be involved in students’ lives—even beyond the programming at the church. We pray that through gathering weekly, your kid will develop deep, Christ-centered relationships that will last beyond their time in our ministry. 

If you have any questions about events or opportunities for us to connect with your student, don’t hesitate to reach out!
