Youth Ministry

Connect with Middle & Highschoolers in Gainesville

Westside’s youth ministry is for all middle and highschoolers in Gainesville and Alachua County. We are a place where you can find friends and mentors that will help you grow in your relationship with God and people.

Plan Your Visit to Collective

Join us this Wednesday

Join us this Wednesday for Collective at 6:45pm! Collective is our youth worship service and your first step to joining the journey as a student at Westside. We know going to new a church can be intimidating, but we promise to do whatever it takes to make your first visit as stress-free as possible.

Youth Summer Camp

MVMT Youth | CAMP 2025

Camp is a five-day getaway where students have the opportunity to grow closer to God and each other. Each day is filled with worship and learning from God’s word, as well as discipleship between students and counselors. There’s also lots of fun, games, and time spent together. Camp is the best week ever!

Life Groups for Youth
