Out of an abundance of caution, Westminster will be closed on Monday, January 26.

This includes the preschool and the church office. Most meetings and small groups will now meet virtually including The Chosen small group. Any questions on changes to meetings and small groups, please contact our staff.

Thank you for your understanding and your flexibility. Please stay safe, stay warm, and take care in the midst of this winter weather.

Due to the significant winter storm forecast for our area, our 10:00 am worship service will be online only. The building will be closed on Sunday.

Our Annual Congregational Meeting will meet via Zoom only at 11:00 am.
