Christian Service Brigade is a discipleship ministry for boys, grades 1 – 12, dedicated to engaging, encouraging and equipping Godly young men to lead and serve in their family, church and community. Christian Service Brigade at West Church is divided into three groups; Battalion for young men from 12 years old through high school; Stockade for boys 8 to 11 years old, and Tree Climbers for boys 6 and 7 years old and their dads or other interested men. Battalion and Stockade meet weekly during the school year on Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:30 while the Tree Climbers meet bi-weekly at the same time.
Tree Climbers is a ministry geared towards fathers with sons in grades 1 and 2. Tree Climbers offers dads a weekly opportunity to invest time with their sons and build a relationship together. The weekly meeting is a time of fun and games, projects and regular challenges from the Word of God.
Stockade provides an opportunity for Christian men to spend time with and mentor boys in grades 3-6. Along with fun and games, boys participate in activities that involve exciting growth experiences that help them to grow physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.
Battalion is a discipleship-centered program for grades 7-12 where Christian men build personal relationships with teen guys and mentor them to be effective Christian leaders. These 12-18 year old young men share experiences in peer group leadership through weekly meetings, the achievement program, service projects and a number of outings, helping them to become leaders by leading.
