Featured opportunity

Shine Groups

This fall, West Side will begin a teaching series called SHINE, where we’ll learn from the biblical example of Nehemiah what it looks like for God’s light to shine through our heartbreak, our prayers, our courage, and our surrender.

And we don’t want to experience it only on Sunday mornings.

Our hope is for every Westsider to be part of a 4-week SHINE GROUP—a place to talk about what we’re learning, encourage one another, build meaningful relationships, and consider how God is calling us to respond.

If you’re already in a small group, you’ll experience SHINE together. If you’re not, we’re offering several group options throughout the week for these five weeks. Everyone is invited, and there’s a place for you!
