Well-read and intelligent, he easily brings a global view into local action, and lends historical, political, cultural relevance to bible studies.” – Amy, Facebook Review

GET INVOLVED
Why Join Us?
In our busy lives today, where we are all struggling to keep up, it becomes all too easy to put religion to the side. We then inadvertently find ourselves on a slippery slope where we forget to nurture our faith. Does our current culture need to get on board with the church, or does the church need to get on board with the culture of today? It’s not exactly a black or white issue, so let’s discuss all the grays.
Westminster Presbyterian Church would like to encourage anyone who cares about their community, their church, and their society to attend. Join in on the seminar and why not bring a friend! After all, the more we embed the Christian calendar into our lives, the more meaningful the gospel becomes. See you at the anniversary seminar on Saturday, October 12th from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. / Bonus: On Sunday, October 13th please join us for Sunday Worship at 11:oo a.m. where we will celebrate the 115th anniversary of WPC and at 3:oo p.m. for the DLW Community Choir Concert.
