"A faithful member accepts Christ's call to be
involved responsibly in the ministry of his church...including the
giving of money, time and talents."
Book of Order
PCUSA
The work of Westminster Church in sharing the "good news of Jesus
Christ" is vested in committees known as ministries, of the Session. We
have a unicameral form of government at Westminster. Each ministry is
chaired by an elder with other elders and members serving as members.
Members who are not presently serving on a particular ministry willingly
support the mission of the church with offerings of their "time and
talents."
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCEand PROPERTY The Administration, Finance and Property Ministry is responsible for the sound
business management and faithful stewardship of Westminster.
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
The goal of Christian Education in the PC(USA) is: "To equip persons
to live as faithful followers of Jesus Christ, growing into maturity
into the very fullness of the stature of Christ." At Westminster, we
affirm that goal through our adult and children's Sunday School classes, youth programs and intergenerational Bible School.
CONGREGATIONAL LIFE and HOSPITALITY
Our mission is to be a welcome and hospitable congregation concerned
about assimilating people into the life and ministry of Westminster,
being concerned about people who are ill, bereaved, or who merit
attention and support for any reason and to provide appropriate care that
will meet their needs. We celebrate with our members the joys of life
by supporting them in their accomplishments. We let our members know
that our actions are grounded in God's love for us and in the
commandment that we love our neighbors as ourselves. Presbyterian Women is under the
oversight of this ministry.
OUTREACH
The Outreach Ministry has oversight for congregational participation
in local, presbytery, and national and international missions. We
support the four denominational offerings: One Great Hour of Sharing,
Pentecost Offering, Peacemaking Offering and Joy Offering. In addition,
we support the Good Samaritan Ministries through monetary and canned
good donations.
WORSHIP
The Worship Ministry designs and supervises programs to promote
friendship and support among members, to welcome members and visitors to
church and to provide information about church activities. We train
ushers, greeters, and hosts. This ministry encompasses everything
related to the worship service, and a big part of that is the music
program. Worship is responsible for Communion.
The Music Ministry of Westminster is based on our belief set forth in
the Catechism that the chief end of human life is to glorify God and
enjoy God forever. It is our mission to provide all members in the body
of believers with an avenue to glorify God through the making of music.
We believe that by offering God our best through music, we make
ourselves available for use by the Holy Spirit. God's music can speak
to, comfort, challenge and empower our congregation.
