As a parent of a student in the West Park Student Ministry, we understand that you want to be informed about what is going on in the life of your child. Our website is laid out so that it is easy for you to know what is happening in Transit, ROOTS, LifeGroups, or the Annex. There are also pages that you can check out for upcoming events, retreats, waiver forms, leadership opportunities for your child, etc.
We know that no one has more influence on your child than you do, and it’s our hope that we will have the opportunity to partner with you to teach your kids about faith and character.
We ask that if you have a student in the West Park Student Ministry that you stay informed on the content of our website and the resources we have provided on this parents page. This is to ensure that you know what is coming up and how you can play a role in continuing your child’s journey of faith at home.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Brad Whitelaw at brad.whitelaw@westpark.on.ca or through the church office 519-471-7460 ex. 207.
