Beginning with Holy Week Westminster welcomes Up to 100 people in worship service. Please use the sign up link below so that attendance may be monitored.  The majority of those attending worship are fully vaccinated.
The Task Force has recommended allowing recitation in our church services while following all other social distancing guidelines. We will again be reciting the Lord’s Prayer together, as well as participating in our other usual group readings and prayers. The worship service will continue to be live streamed so members may view the service from home. 

Coming Soon!
A NEW church directory. This will be a great tool for helping us put names with faces and connecting our families to one another. We have invited Lifetouch Church Directories and Portraits to photograph members on May 21-25 and May 29-June 2, 2018.  Click this link to make your appointment online now. There will also be opportunities to sign up at church on April 22, April 29, May 6 and May 13.

Westminster's four-manual, six division organ was built by Robert G. Dial Organbuilders in 2002.  Located in the east gallery, the Great, Swell, Choir and Pedal divisions are augmented by the Ruckpositiv division of the previous Schlicker organ and by a Chancel division housed behind the facade of the original Hook and Hastings organ. - do we need this anywhere? - this came from music page
Construction began at Westminster’s present site in 1906 and the building was dedicated in 1908. This new edifice was designed in the style of rural “early English Gothic” of the 13th century by the renowned Boston architectural firm of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson.
