This time together will enrich, nurture and renew our faith journey.

Beginning in September 2018, Rev. Jim Kitchens, of the consulting group PneuMatrix, will be leading Westminster through a congregation-wide visioning process. With Westminster doing great right now, you might ask why would we would waste time and energy dreaming about our future. In a blog post, Rev. Kitchens writes: “If the only thing you’re worried about is whether or not there will be someone here to bury you when you die, then you don’t need to do a darn thing.
Westminster is a welcoming, inclusive community of faith, following Christ’s example by supporting spiritual growth, serving others, and promoting peace and justice.
The Westminster community is invited to send in prayer requests. Your request will be emailed to our prayer chain leader and prayed upon by our Prayer Chain members.
