One of our goals in Woodside Student Ministry (WSM) is to create a ministry that doesn’t JUST serve students, but instead, serves families. This page is designed to keep you up to date on any upcoming events, conferences and meetings that are specifically for parents. We’ll also use this page to share with you helpful resources for parenting!

Jump Start
6th Grade Families Mini-Conference
Starting something new is exciting and scary all at the same time. And starting middle school is a major milestone in life as you move from being treated like a child to being treated more and more like an adult. More freedoms, physical changes, demands and responsibilities. Oasis wants to help both parents and students get ready for this exciting stage of life. That’s what this multi-site conference is all about!
When: August 20th from 6-9pm and August 21st from 8a-12:30p
What: This is an all new family mini-conference for new 6th grade students and their parents. Entering middle school is a major life milestone and we want to make sure that our families are as prepared as possible. This mini-conference will include (1) relational building activities, (2) separate breakouts for parents and students both to learn and discuss the challenges and opportunities that come with this unique age group and (3) a campus-specific overview of the middle school ministry of Woodside so your family can take full advantage of partnering with our church to inspire the next generation to live for Jesus Christ. Give us a call, send us a message or pick up a Jump Start postcard at the Oasis information table if you have any questions.
How Much: $40 (includes dinner, breakfast, books & resources) .
