Child Dedications - BOTH SERVICES
Oooh….we love babies! And toddlers! And kids! And we know just how much God loves them as well. We are so excited to have the opportunity to partner with you as you choose to dedicate your children to the Lord. Let us know who you’ll be dedicating and which service by filling out this form.
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I have asked of Him,
so now I give him to the Lord. 1 Sam 1:27-28.
Ignite : Hangout
During our Hangouts, here’s what your 6th-8th grade students can expect: Dinner will be available for FREE, and we will provide beverages. Our leaders will be providing a message and scripture reading, applicable games or activities that illustrate the message, and then we will break into small group discussions. These small groups are where the students are stretched to talk and think about how they can apply the message into their daily lives.
The last hour or so will differ each week with a fun, engaging, structured game or activity. The students will have time to build relationships with each other AND the leaders while we play! We were created to be in community with each other, and this time of fun is precious!
The best way to stay up to date with Ignite is to join our Facebook group “Ignite – Six, Seven, Eight,” text “678” to 303-7572, or check lifewest.church/ignite. We treasure the responsibility of leading this group into a closer relationship with the Lord and look forward to helping these kids discover how they are each gifted by the Holy Spirit!
FUEL - High School
Once a WEEK all high schoolers gather to worship and grow together. We’re fueled by God, fueled by relationships, and yeeeeah, probably fueled by caffeine or soda, too. Not sure if hopping straight into a small group is your thing? Join us for Fuel.

It’s our very first women’s potluck! We’ve had the pleasure of getting to taste all of your amazing cooking so we thought we’d make a night of it! Show up early (5 p.m.) and join other ladies for a hike. OR, simply arrive at 6:30 for the feasting. Please bring copies of your recipe to share (or email them to us at julied@lifewest.church and we’ll print them). Aaaaand, let us know if you have someone’s favorite recipe you want us to pressure them to bring. We’ll get right on that. We can think of a few that are already on our list…

FUEL - LOCKED-IN Lock-In
We're going to have a great time getting LOCKED-IN on Jesus and hearing from him.
For 12 hours (starting at 9pm) we will have an alternating cycle of worship > message/testimony/blurp > free time > then repeat until 9am.
During this time we will also have a couple different prayer stations setup as well as a nap location for each gender. Then from 9am until noon we will break up into a few different groups and drive to various locations to pray walk (these will range based on students comfort, and how the Spirit leads us). Throughout the night, we'll have a few snacks (and regrettably some energy drinks, lol), and then we will have breakfast provided for the morning.

FUEL - High School
Once a month all high schoolers gather to worship and grow together. We’re fueled by God, fueled by relationships, and yeeeeah, probably fueled by caffeine or soda, too. Not sure if hopping straight into a small group is your thing? Join us for Fuel.
Oh, and there will be dinner. So yeah. We’ll be fueled by that as well.
Ignite : Hangout
During our Hangouts, here’s what your 6th-8th grade students can expect: Dinner will be available for FREE, and we will provide beverages. Our leaders will be providing a message and scripture reading, applicable games or activities that illustrate the message, and then we will break into small group discussions. These small groups are where the students are stretched to talk and think about how they can apply the message into their daily lives.
The last hour or so will differ each week with a fun, engaging, structured game or activity. The students will have time to build relationships with each other AND the leaders while we play! We were created to be in community with each other, and this time of fun is precious!
The best way to stay up to date with Ignite is to join our Facebook group “Ignite – Six, Seven, Eight,” text “678” to 303-7572, or check lifewest.church/ignite. We treasure the responsibility of leading this group into a closer relationship with the Lord and look forward to helping these kids discover how they are each gifted by the Holy Spirit!
High School Summer SURVIVOR - SECOND EDITION
Join us this summer for our Survivor-inspired challenge series!
Twice this summer, on a Sunday afternoon, high school students from all grade levels and groups are invited to come together for games, challenges and competition.
With cool prizes up for grabs, it’s a chance to show off your skills and outwit, outplay, and outlast your opponents. But it’s not just about winning—it’s about building friendships, working as a team, and having fun!
For our incoming eight graders, it’s a great opportunity to meet new people and get acclimated with high school before the year even starts. And for our treasured seniors who are graduating, it’s a fun and memorable way to celebrate the end of a high school journey at Life West!
So, whether you’re a seasoned Survivor fan or just looking for a fun summer activity, come join us for the first day of adventure, competition, and community!
