FIRST IMPRESSION TEAM: The First Impression Team exists
to create an atmosphere of warmth and personal acceptance while providing
a safe environment to reach people for Christ and grow believers to
be like him. This team warmly greets everyone who is on their way to
the worship service with a handshake and a smile. This team also assists
people in the worship service by handing out bulletins, overseeing the
service in general and assisting people where needed. Training/orientation
provided. Service times: Sunday - 9:30,
11:15am., & 5pm. Contact Larry Rutledge at (913)890-4230 or

LIFEGROUP LEADERS: At Westside, we believe everyone
needs to be in a LifeGroup (small group) where they can build friendships
and grow in their relationship with God. You can be a part of helping
cultivate a healthy, purpose-driven LifeGroup that produces healthy
disciples over time. Contact Tim Overby or Matt Adams at (913)890-4236

TRAFFIC CONTROL: This ministry helps people to have a positive
experience at church by helping cars flow smoothly into and out of the
parking lot on Sundays between services. Contact Mark Pitnick at markandjudy@everestkc.net.
WORSHIP ARTS - BAND & VOCAL MINISTRY: Sure, we have incredible
talent, but more than that, we know how to have fun as we serve together
as a family of musicians. So if you have the stuff to crank it up or
belt it out, know that there is never a shortage of opportunities in
the band or vocal team. In fact, we like to say, “The more the
merrier!” For more information, contact Monica Jessick at (913)890-4227
or worship@westsidefamilychurch.com.
WORSHIP ARTS – PROGRAMMING MINISTRY: All those
cool weekend message themes, dramas, special music and creative elements
are dreamed up and put into play by the programming team. Opportunities
include: stage design & construction, research, drama, directing
and so much more. For more information, contact Monica Jessick at (913)890-4227
or worship@westsidefamilychurch.com.
WORSHIP ARTS – TECH MINISTRY: It doesn’t
matter how tight the band or inspired the Pastor without the audio techs.
But even if you can hear everything, it’s so much better with
proper lighting. This is where the lighting techs come in with their
designs. Yet, that’s still not the last piece of the puzzle is
it? The multi-media techs come in and add the final touch with camera
and computer technology. For more information, contact Monica Jessick
at (913)890-8257 or worship@westsidefamilychurch.com.
