The Westgate Family ministry is all about sharing the victory.  We seek to facilitate experiences for our families to support one another and grow together.  Paul's words to the Corinthians frame this ministry well, "But thanks be to God!  He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Following are some of the ongoing ministry activities:

Parents' Night Out

On the second Friday night of every month from 6 pm until 10 pm in the Westgate gym the families of Westgate sponsor this great opportunity for couples and friends to get an evening out without the added expense of babysitting.   A big plus is that our kids love to spend time together and they get to do so under the careful supervision of some of your most trusted friends.

Several couples volunteer each month to supervise the children of all ages and provide fun activities for them here while the rest of us enjoy an evening out with our spouse or friends.  All children are required to have a signed release on file with emergency information and copies of valid health insurance information.  Releases must be updated annually.

Annual Couples' Retreat

Our second annual retreat will be at the Boardwalk Beach Resort in Panama City.  The dates are April 18-20, 2008 and our resource speaker this year is Mitch Temple, Director of Marriage Development at Focus on the Family.  The cost is $140 per couple and includes 2 nights accomodation plus breakfast.  For more information click here.

Family Beach Trip 

On August 22-24, 2008 we will have our first annual "Family Beach Trip" also at the Boardwalk Beach Resort.  Condos are reserved with two bedrooms and the cost of $350 - $450 can be split between two families.  Click here for updated information.
