Ask, Seek, Knock
“Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives;
the one who seeks finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
-Matthew 7:7-8
In the month of September, we will focus on "Ask" and dive into who God is and what and how to ask Him. In October we will focus on "Seek" and dive into who Jesus is and why it matters to us today. In November we will focus on "Knock" and inviting the holy spirit into our lives, seeing the bible as the living word, and the transformation that can happen.

Youth Leadership Team
The purposes of YLT are to give high school students the opportunity to:
YLT students lead our youth ministry in spiritual growth, commitment to service and involvement in activities. YLT students take seriously the importance and responsibility of leadership. Committing to YLT is more than just attending the monthly gatherings; it is committing and contributing to West Side Youth Ministry by participating in events, serving others and working to be a Christ-Centered student.

Student Worship Team: CATALYST
Join our student worship team – CATALYST under the direction of Sean McMonigle. Beyond rehearsing, having a blast playing music together and leading worship on Sunday evenings, the team will be learning about what true worship is in the eyes of the Father. The worship team will be in essence a discipleship group (dGroup) growing together as they explore the book “Pure Praise (Revised): A Heart-Focused Bible Study on Worship.”
When Sean was asked about the name Catalyst, he said he chose it “because that’s how I see music in the realm of worship. For people like myself who love music and are wired that way, music is a major catalyst in how I worship. But it is not worship in its own right.”
Isaiah 25:1 is the team’s theme verse: “Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name.”

Confirmation

During this class, students will learn and practice using the language of the faith and see that Jesus calls them to a purpose that is bigger than themselves. The class covers the Biblical narrative, Christian theology, Presbyterian Polity, and what it means to be The Church.
