For eight weeks we’ll be journeying through the fruit of the Spirit, which includes nine different characteristics. The Spirit empowers us to become people full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. He empowers us to become the people we were made to be. If we pay attention, we might just catch a glimpse of Jesus, the person we’re becoming more and more like by the power of the Spirit.

Are you curious to learn more about Westside Family Church and the place God may have for you here? Your first stop at Westside is our Get Connected experience! Find acceptance, a challenge to grow closer to Jesus, and consistent encouragement as you take YOUR next steps with Jesus.

Parent Dedication is a special moment set aside for parents to dedicate themselves, their child, and their parenting efforts to God. Our collective hope is that when their child is old enough to understand, they, too, will choose to follow Christ and be baptized. As a church, we're standing with you as you take on the responsibility of parenting a child's heart and walking with them as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Serving as a group can be a very rewarding experience, and the impact on our store is huge! Adelante Thrift has volunteer opportunities six days of the week that are perfect for groups of various sizes and ages.  Many groups make serving at Adelante Thrift a regular activity.  Partnership and collaboration are the ingredients to sustainable community development.  Adelante Thrift offers service opportunities for individuals, groups, churches, schools and businesses six days of the week.  From sorting to cleaning or helping our customers, there's a spot for everyone!

Many refugees come to the country with little more than papers. Thrift’s low costs allow people, no matter where they come from, to have the dignity of providing for themselves and their families and knowing that they are part of a community. There was also a need for a thrift store as resettlement was booming and there was only one other thrift store in the area. Finally, thrift stores bring others together by functioning through donations, volunteers, and shoppers. And so, our mission drove us to choose thrift as a space where community could be uplifted, supported, and dignified by every person.

It's not enough to know what you think you're supposed to believe. Jesus calls us to live differently. Living differently starts with deep, gut-level conviction that you know what you believe and you know why it matters. Understand the key beliefs of Christianity that, when embraced in your mind and heart, will create true transformation in your thoughts, habits and character.
