Worship
Christian worship joyfully ascribes all praise and honor, glory and power to the triune God. In worship the people of God acknowledge God present in the world and in their lives. As they respond to God's claim and redemptive action in Jesus Christ, believers are transformed and renewed. In worship, the faithful offer themselves to God and are equipped for God's service in the world.
Worship Services
Worship services are held in the Sanctuary at 8:30 am and 11:00 am. Music at these services includes the Chancel Choir and/or soloists and on occasion the youth choir, children's choirs, and the bell choir. Special services are held on Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, and during Holy Week.
The Bridge
Our contemporary worship service focuses on singing praises to God, hearing a message from the Bible, spending time in fellowship and experiencing God's love in a caring community. You'll experience what we call ancient / future worship -- some liturgy and traditions of old mixed in with new and various forms of media and music. On any given Sunday, you might find prayer stations, a chance to walk the Labyrinth, small group discussion or time spent preparing to go out and serve in mission to the community. We are all at different places in our relationship with God and come from many different denominations and religious backgrounds. There is a place for you at Westminster and a seat for you at The Bridge.
Join us each week at 9:45 a.m. as we explore ways to become more like the early church where we care for one another and grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Holy Communion
Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month and on Maundy Thursday.
