CHILDREN
Sunday School Classes (9:15 am)
Sunday school classes are available for children ages 2 through Grade 12 during our Sunday school hour (9:15-10:15 a.m.).
Children’s and Junior Church (Sunday 10:30 am)
Children’s church (Age 4-Grade 2) and Junior church (Grades 3-6) are held during the regular worship service time at 10:30 a.m. Like the adult worship service, it includes preaching, prayer, and singing.
Sunday Evening Classes (6 pm)
During the evening service, children ages 4 and up join their parents in the auditorium service. (Nursery and a 2 & 3-year-olds class are available during this time.)
Wednesday Evening Classes (7 pm)
Classes are available for children ages 2 through Grade 12. From September through May, children participate in three special “Patch the Pirate” classes: Peanut (ages 4 & 5), PeeWee (Grades 1 & 2), and “Patch the Pirate” (Grades 3-6). Based on the music of Ron “Patch” Hamilton, these classes provide an opportunity for children ages four through twelve to grow spiritually as they sing and study the Bible together.
Neighborhood Bible Time (NBT)
Since 1989, Westgate Baptist Church has hosted “Neighborhood Bible Time,” an exciting week-long children’s outreach similar to Vacation Bible School. Over the years, thousands of children have attended! Many have been saved and have made decisions to live for Christ.
NURSERY
During all of our regularly scheduled services and Sunday School sessions, nursery care is available for children from newborn through the age of three. Our nurseries are staffed by well-qualified and caring church members. A nursery call system allows the staff to contact a child’s mother should her assistance be needed during the service.

MUSIC
The music ministry at Westgate Baptist Church is an important part of each service. By setting the tone of the service, it prepares the hearts and minds of the congregation to worship the Lord “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). The purpose of our music is to unify the congregation in praise and worship, and to bring to God a “sacrifice of praise” (Jer. 33:10-11; Heb. 13:15).
OUTREACH
Each Tuesday night at 6:45 PM and Saturday at 1:00 PM, our church meets to go out into our community and visit those who have recently visited the church, share the gospel with our neighbors, and visit those who cannot get out or are sick. The purpose of visitation is to fulfill the Great Commission by sharing Christ and to disciple new believers.
