Westminster’s doors are open, welcoming, and a way to service.
We are a large and vibrant congregation within the Presbyterian Church (USA). Founded by abolitionists in 1835, Westminster seeks to continue that spirit of advocacy for justice and mercy and to share the love of God in Jesus Christ within our world today.
Inspired by the radical hospitality of Jesus Christ, Westminster welcomes and affirms all of God’s children into the life of the church regardless of age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family makeup or socioeconomic situation, physical character or disability. We foster a safe environment, inviting all God’s children to share in the life of our faith community.
Our worship service, rich in liturgy and a variety of musical styles, is held in our Sanctuary and live streamed each Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. The service can be viewed anytime during the week at www.wpcspi.org.
We seek to build a thoughtful, developmentally informed ministry of education and spiritual formation. From the youngest to the oldest, we are committed to life-long learning as we honor the faith journey of each and are present with one another during the unexpected turns along the way.
We invite you to explore this website, read our brief FAQ, or contact our staff with questions. The doors of Westminster are open, welcoming, and a way to service.
