West Side Outside
Transforming Spaces, Growing Faith
You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. (Matthew 5:14-15)
New Barn Renderings, Plaza Photos & What’s Next
On Sunday, September 28, we’ll gather for a special Recognition Sunday during worship at 8:15, 9:00, and 10:30 a.m. to celebrate everyone supporting West Side Outside—through your gifts, your prayers, and your hope for what God is doing here.
This summer brought two big milestones worth celebrating:
- The Barn renderings are complete, offering a glimpse of a vibrant home for youth, intergenerational gatherings, and community outreach—a space that will carry our mission forward for years to come.
- The front plaza and steps are nearly finished—beautiful, welcoming, and ready to invite. They represent our first completed milestone and give us hope for all that lies ahead.
Thanks to your generosity, we’re already 70% of the way toward our $5 million benchmark. There’s still more to do, but this is a moment to pause and give thanks for how far we’ve come—together. See our progress in the gallery below:
About West Side Outside
For generations, West Side has been a beacon of light—a place where faith takes root, community is formed, and lives are shaped by God’s love. Now, we have an opportunity to reimagine our sacred space so that every corner of our campus reflects our deepest values:
- Living contemplatively – creating places of prayer, reflection, and presence
- Loving inclusively – ensuring that all feel welcomed and embraced
- Sharing generously – using our resources to serve our neighbors
- Acting justly – removing barriers and making our space accessible for all
West Side Outside is our next faithful step—more than a building project, it is an act of faith. A way to ensure that our campus is inviting, sustainable, and ready to serve generations to come.
