Westside Family Church

What Westside Family Church does

Westside Family Church is a privately held, multi-site Christian non-profit operating two physical campuses in the Kansas City metropolitan area (WFC Lenexa at 8500 Woodsonia Drive and WFC Speedway in the Piper High School area), with online streaming available through WFC Online. Founded by Pastor Randy Frazee (now Pastor Emeritus), the church runs an age-segmented ministry portfolio covering Kids Ministry (birth through 5th grade), Student Ministry (6th through 12th grade), Deaf Ministry with ASL interpretation and assistive listening, Special Needs buddy ministry, and foster/adoptive family support through Network 1:27. It also operates the Westside Family Care Center, a mental health counseling subsidiary currently expanding its facility, and a Gear Store selling branded merchandise at $12-$35 unit pricing.

The church's Global Impact program partners with the jointly controlled One Life Child Sponsorship Organization to serve 2,500+ vulnerable children across Southeast Asia, South Africa, India, and Guatemala, and affiliates with the What If The Church network of 300+ Kansas City metro churches pursuing unity initiatives (MARGIN KC, ONE KC). Distribution combines in-person services across multiple weekly service times, online streaming, neighborhood-based small groups called Area Communities, and structured outreach through Kids Hope USA school partnerships spanning 67+ Johnson County schools.

Revenue derives primarily from voluntary tithes and offerings, supplemented by merchandise sales through the online Gear Store and fees for events such as the Israel pilgrimage and global mission trips. The technology stack is standard for mid-sized churches (Squarespace website, CCB Church management software, ListenEverywhere assistive listening, Parent Cue app) with no proprietary AI capabilities. The organization has no parent company, no funding rounds, and no disclosed financial statements.
