At Westside, we are passionate about missions. We believe we should live on mission every day for the glory of God. Our entire being should be dedicated to living on mission.
That’s one of the reasons we want our people to have 100,000 gospel conversations through 2025.
Look through this page to find all kinds of mission opportunities.

At Westside, we believe that every believer is called to be a part of taking The Gospel to the "ends of the earth."

One More Child's vision is, "to bring hope to hurting children, to show that the love of Jesus changes lives and to impact the life of One More Child. From the opening of our first orphanage in 1904 to our present-day ministries that have expanded to provide safe, stable, Christian homes and services to children and families in need across the state and around the globe, we are honored to be helping children in tangible ways."

"Each day, we meet with women who are confused and hurting. We invite them to come in to Sira, to share their story, a story they often feel they can’t share with anyone else, and we listen. Many face an unexpected pregnancy or struggle with a past pregnancy decision. Sometimes, it’s an expecting mom or dad who feels overwhelmed and underprepared to be a parent or raise an additional child. Whatever their story, we welcome them with open arms."

"We seek to end sex trafficking and sexual exploitation in our community by reducing the supply, reaching the exploited, restoring lives, and stopping the demand.
