Welcome to Westminster

Westminster is a congregation of more than 1,800 members, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Some of our members were born and raised in this congregation, but the great majority have joined more recently. Nearly two-thirds of us come from a religious background other than Presbyterian, which means that we welcome people from all sorts of faith journeys, and we welcome the questions they bring. What we have in common is a desire to know and love God more deeply, and use our gifts to care for all God’s people.

The church’s size enables us to offer lots of opportunities for spiritual growth and service, and we invite people to participate in smaller group activities that build relationships in the context of the larger congregation. You can learn more about the church on our website, but we invite you to join us for worship on Sunday, or come to any of the other opportunities available here. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of any service.

Blessings,

Dr. Jim Gilchrist, Senior Pastor
