Burnt Offerings 

Westminster's 2024 Cookbook

We called this book Burnt Offerings because a) it sounds hilarious and b) that’s the way the Bible talks of our sacrifices of praise to God. God has built us for community. We are not meant to be alone. We hope this cookbook helps us get one step closer to the beloved community we’ve been called to be.

Cookbooks are $25, and all proceeds go to WPC's Feed My Sheep program.

Confirmation 

Our Westminster Presbyterian Church Youth Ministry Team invites all 6th through 12th grade students to join our confirmation process. This is an important step towards becoming mature Christian adults. Confirmation, linked to baptism, allows youth to embrace the faith into which they were baptized, and it is an important rite of passage celebrated by our congregation. The goals of confirmation are to explore faith and theology, build community, and encourage participation in church membership at Westminster Presbyterian Church.  
If you are interested in Confirmation, please contact Amber Ray by February 2nd.

Stack of Stones

Quarterly Newsletter for Westminster Presbyterian Church

Several times in the Bible, the people of God practiced stacking stones on top of one another as a reminder of how God blessed them and made their lives whole. This newsletter serves a similar purpose for Westminster as we chronicle the year and provide testimony to God's faithfulness.
