Thursday Nights

Weekly Gatherings: Thursdays, 6:30-8:00p.m. | Westover Cafe
Looking for a place to belong, grow, and explore your faith? Our Thursday night gatherings are a welcoming entry point for young adults to connect, build authentic community, and deepen their walk with Christ. In a typical week, we come together to open God’s word, engage in small group discussions to apply biblical truth to our everyday life, and support each other through prayer, encouragement, and accountability.  Topical series change throughout the year, and each week is planned as stand alone so you can feel free to join us at any time.
Doors open at 6:15p.m., come early, stay late and enjoy the fellowship!

Small Groups

Small Groups offer a place to grow deeper in faith, build lasting friendships, and live out the gospel together.
These aren’t just casual meetups—they’re committed communities. Each group consists of 6–8 men or women (gender-specific), gathering weekly in homes to study Scripture, pray intentionally, and strengthen one another through encouragement and accountability.
Whether you're new to faith or seeking deeper spiritual growth, Small Groups offer a safe and encouraging space to be known, challenged, and supported.
Why Commitment Matters
Spiritual maturity is strengthened through consistent, intentional relationships. Our Small Groups are designed for those who are ready to invest—not just attend. When you commit to showing up, engaging, and walking alongside others, transformation happens.
What to Expect:
  • Scripture-Based Study: Each topical study lasts 6-12 weeks, and includes independent study throughout the week followed by facilitated discussion during the weekly meeting.
  • Accountability & Growth: A safe place to foster spiritual maturity through honest conversations and Christ-centered support.
  • Prayer & Encouragement: Sharing burdens, celebrating victories, and lifting one another up in prayer.
If you're ready to grow deeper in your faith and authentic community, contact our mentoring team to discuss next steps—we’ll help you find a group that fits your schedule and season of life.

Serving

Serve with Purpose: Opportunities for Young Adults
God has uniquely gifted each of us to serve. At Westover, young adults have tremendous opportunities to make a difference—within the church, in the local community, and around the world.
Serving isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about finding your gifts and discovering your purpose.
Whether your passion is hospitality, teaching, using your hands, outreach, or missions, there's a place for you to step in and serve as the hands and feet of Jesus.

Serve the Body of Christ - Using your gifts to build up the Church.
There are many ways to serve the body of Westover, from greeting guests, leading worship, supporting the children or youth ministries, or volunteering in tech and production.

Serve Locally – Addressing the needs in our backyard
We partner with local organizations to meet tangible needs, build relationships, and share the hope of the gospel through action in our local community.

Serve Globally - Join God’s work around the world
Through short-term mission trips and global partnerships, young adults can experience cross-cultural ministry and support long-term efforts in sharing the gospel.

Here are some of the many ways Young Adults are currently serving:  

Community Building Events

Life Together: Building Community Through Fellowship
As followers of Jesus, we’re called to live life together, encouraging one another, sharing joy and laughter, and growing in love. That’s why building community is a core value of everything we do.
Throughout the year, we plan a variety of social gatherings and events that help us connect beyond our Weekly meetings. These events—both planned and spontaneous—create space for laughter, friendship, and meaningful conversations:
  • Monthly Social Events: Whether it’s a game night, day hike, lake day, holiday / seasonal events, pickleball, taking in a grasshopper baseball game, or serving the community together, our regular events are designed to bring people together in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
  • Spontaneous Hangouts: From lunch after church to last-minute hikes or movie nights, we encourage spontaneous member-initiated gatherings for relationships to grow organically.
  • All Are Welcome: You don’t have to be a long-time member to join in. These gatherings are open to anyone seeking connection and community in Christ.
Check out our Events Calendar to see what’s coming up.
