Westport Baptist provides a foundation-laying Children’s Ministry from preschool-5th grade. We seek to support parents and families by affirming the teaching of the Gospel taking place in their homes and nurturing Godly understanding through the teaching of Scripture in our classrooms. We provide a safe and loving learning environment where Biblical education points to Salvation, and disciples to maturity.

We offer multiple ways for your kids to engage with THE GOSPEL!!

What Is KidsPort?

Just like our adult worship services we have an opportunity for children to connect with us on Sunday mornings. At 10:30 am we have a large group Bible lesson and worship time for 3yr through 5th grade kids. Our large group worship provides kids with an opportunity to engage in energetic worship and to hear age-appropriate Biblical teaching. After large group time, we will split into smaller age appropriate groups to dive deeper into the lesson and make it more applicable to the age group. They enjoy a light snack and have plenty of time for free-play. Also, during each hour we provide a safe and loving environment for our babies and toddlers.

Children will meet in the “treehouse” on Sunday mornings, after being securely checked-in by their parent or guardian. The treehouse is an awesome environment that your child is sure to love. After service is over, your child will be waiting for you to securely check them out. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Pastor Jason.
