At Westminster we have a long-standing tradition of exploring and celebrating God’s glory in this very special place. Westminster is a place of heartfelt compassion, intelligent faith, and welcoming hospitality. Located at the corner of Sheridan Blvd. and South Street, Westminster’s programs of caring and sharing, learning, music and the arts, and fellowship reach out from the community we call We
stminster to communities near and far. A place that is: Spiritually Alive, Broadly Inclusive, and Growing In Mission. We Are… Spiritually Alive

Yes, we have a place for new people. In any given year, our church leadership groups are made up of a significant number of people new to the church, as well as well-seasoned long term members. We Are… Broadly Inclusive
Being inclusive is a large part of our Christian identity. Like a diamond, being inclusive has many facets. Overall, it has to do with welcoming people in the Spirit of Christ. This is a congregation that welcomes:
•liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and undecided into community together,
•men and women in all leadership positions;
•youth into decision-making about our future;
•children into worship;
•open conversations and dialogue about controversial issues;
•people of different national, ethnic and racial backgrounds;
•people of different sexes and different sexual orientations;
