Education Missions
Compass for Kids
Westminster hosts this weekly after-school program of homework help, life skills, and hot meals for at-risk children from Graham Elementary, partnering with Central Baptist and providing numerous volunteers. Participating children are also supplied with nutritious food for each weekend. Compass has continued in adapted form during the pandemic, meeting children’s academic, social, and nutritional needs despite the inability to gather in person. Westminster provided $5,000 in 2021. Get involved: Opportunities include the chance to be a Classroom Helper / Leader, Reader and Book Club Leader, or food and supplies delivery volunteer. Kemmerer Village
Kemmerer Village is a Presbyterian Child Care Agency which helps children and youth facing stress and turmoil in their lives to attain skills and dignity and become well-adjusted members of family and society. WPC funded Kemmerer with $3,000 in 2021, and several members are directly involved with this ministry. We also collect box tops to contribute to their educational programming. |
Westminster Cooperative Preschool
Westminster Coop Preschool is celebrating 50 years, offering a NAYC-accredited, safe, small preschool to our community. WPC hosts and shares many of its resources with the preschool, and offers funding to assist families who need help with tuition at our educational mission partner. |
The Outlet
The Outlet works with young males ages 8-22 to help develop the capacity and skill sets to make responsible life-decisions, acquire and maintain spiritual and ethical values, explore their gifts, talents and recognize their dreams and aspirations through male role models/tutors. Westminster contributed $2,500 to The Outlet inn 2021. |
Youth Mission Trip
Westminster Youth Group’s summer mission theme was the Civil Rights Movement and was hosted at Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center in Little Rock, AR. Youth created readily usable care kits for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, worked on their mission house, barn, and created a repurpose garden. We also partnered with Arkansas Food Bank and Women & Children First Shelter in Little Rock, AR. Westminster gave $14,534 to help sponsor the Youth Mission Trip in 2021. |
