Mission and Community Service
Truly I tell you, just as you did it for the least of these
who are members of my family, you did it to me. Matthew 25:40

Westminster, which was founded by abolitionists in 1835, has a rich history of mission and community service. This is an important part of who we are and at the heart of our call to follow Christ.
Mission and Community Service are inextricably intertwined in the Christian life. Our calling as followers of Christ is to share the Gospel through both word and deed, loving our neighbors after the example of Jesus.
Every person called by Christ is called to mission and service. It is our hope that together all of us will find and engage the particular ideas, passions, and causes God has placed on each of our hearts, joining with one another to multiply our efforts and encourage each other.
The church is a people told to go, to meet and know our neighbors and care for them, across the whole world that surrounds us, from the local community to the furthest reaches of the earth. It is our hope that we will engage, learn, and listen, that we might continually grow in our understanding of the cares and needs of persons both nearby and far away, and meet them in love, humility, and service.
The links below describe the mission and community service efforts which are recent or ongoing at WPC. You are invited to peruse the pages, find things that interest and excite you, roll up your sleeves, and get involved. And when you feel the stirring of the Holy Spirit at work, showing you something new, not yet found in these pages, you are invited to imagine, to dream, and to offer up your own ideas for how we, jointly, as the body of Christ, can live out our mission of service in our Lord's name. Come, and be a part of this church's mission to the world!
