The ethical conduct of all who minister in the name of Jesus Christ is vitally important to the Church. We convey an understanding of God’s character and the meaning of our Christian faith by our words and our deeds. Our manner of life in the church and in the world should be a demonstration of the Gospel that honors Jesus Christ and gives glory to God.

The ministries at West Side Church involve administering to the spiritual welfare of the children and youth and their families and providing them a safe environment in which this ministry can be performed. To this end, West Side Church has taken specific measures to provide for a safe environment for our children and youth. The key attributes of these measures include our policies and procedures, congregational awareness, and employee and volunteer screening and training processes. We desire to treat every person with the respect, dignity and concern that is consistent with Christian principles of justice and grace, so that God’s call to righteousness is upheld and Christ’s ministry of redemptive transformation in every person’s life through the work of the Holy Spirit may be fulfilled.
