May, in Children’s Ministry…
Astronaut Neil Armstrong once said landing on the moon was “one small step for man.” The biggest adventures start in such a simple way — especially when it comes to space! Asteroids, distant planets, and brand new galaxies await us once we leave earth’s atmosphere. Being the first to explore such uncharted territory can be intimidating. In this four-week series, we’ll look at the Book of Acts to learn from the first Christians. Through their stories of faith and bravery, kids will learn how to take the first step of believing in Jesus and how the Holy Spirit makes us brave. But they won’t want to skip the last step of telling others about Jesus and praying for others.
Want to learn and grow alongside your kid as we go through this teaching series? You can! Spend a few minutes each week studying the passages of Scripture we'll be teaching, praying about what God wants to do in you and in your family, and growing by putting God's words into practice in your own life.

Children's Ministry at West Portal
At West Portal Kids Connections, our kids experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and relevant way. Jr. High and High School aged kids have separate meetings as well.
We would love to have you and your family visit us!
Our vision in Children’s Ministry is to partner together with parents to guide kids towards a HEART for God.
Our mission at West Portal Church in Children’s Ministry is to empower parents and Children’s Ministry leaders to build God’s Kingdom by inviting the youngest among us to know and follow Jesus.
Your First Visit
Here is what to expect when checking into our Children's Ministry for the first time:
- 3 & 4 year-olds will head down the hallway past the washrooms
- Kindergarten & Grade 1 kids are up the stairs and down the hall
- Grade 2-6 will be greeted at the Fellowship Hall doors (gym doors by the main floor washrooms)
We also have a special area for 2-year-olds down the hall to the left of the front doors.
If you need any help finding the appropriate space, just ask someone on our hospitality team - you'll know them by their nametag! They would be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
Checking In
Each area will have their own sign-in and sign-out sheet. First time check-ins will be asked the following information:
- Parent/Guardian Name(s)
- Home Address
- Phone Number
- Child's Name
- Child's Birthdate/Grade
- Any specific instructions (allergies, special needs) for your child(ren)
The parent/guardian whose name is written down at the time of sign-in must also be the parent who signs the child out.
Parents of two-year-old's will be given a pager in case your child may need you throughout the hour.
We hope you will enjoy your time spent with us. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Aimee at aimee@westportalchurch.ca.
