Westminster Presbyterian Church
Mission Statement

With each new day, we reaffirm our common purpose:
• to join in the worshipful praise of God,
• to teach children, to lead and inspire the young,
     and to call everyone to life-long learning in the church,
• to be influential participants in society by being accountable to the Gospel,
• to show the love and compassion of Jesus Christ toward each other,
     and toward those who are hurting,
• to be a caring community welcoming both friends and strangers,
• to own our Presbyterian heritage, reformed and always reforming,
• to be prayerfully open to the renewing power of the Holy Spirit. 
Let the door of this church be a way to service.

20 Year Anniversary Endowment Campaign:
Building a Legacy of Faith

The 2015 Endowment Anniversary Campaign; Building A Legacy of Faith celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Westminster Presbyterian Church Endowment.  The goal to grow the Westminster Endowment from $1.9 to $5 million by 2020 is rooted in the firm belief that a larger principal will strengthen the mission of Westminster and address our ongoing capital and building needs in a planned and orderly manner.  Members and friends are invited to make a five-year pledge or other planned gifts that would be above and beyond giving to the annual Stewardship Campaign. 

We will celebrate the commitments we have received in this ongoing campaign on Dedication Sunday, May 17.  We are pleased to welcome the Rev. Dr. Lonnie H. Lee and his wife, Barbara, to worship and to a festive picnic on our front lawn.  Dr. and Mrs. Lee have remembered Westminster's Endowment in their estate planning and he is excited to be a spokesperson for this campaign.    

Those who invest in the Westminster Endowment Fund will become a part of the Albert Hale Circle. For more information, click here.
