Pastoral Care
Ministers are available for counseling in the area of marriage, baptism, grief, funerals, or any crisis or situation where you may need Christian guidance and prayer. Call the church office to speak to one of the ministers.
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers are trained members equipped to offer support for those who are grieving, suffering a crisis, in need of long-term care, dying, hospitalized, divorcing, or experiencing loss or crisis at any age, in any situation. Read more about Stephen Ministry.
Men's & Women's Visitation
Members of the congregation provide regular visits to men or women who are homebound or have difficulty getting out or to church due to sickness, injury, loss of spouse or family member, or other life-altering experiences. This ministry of presence provides caring hearts and gift of conversation.
Prenatal Loss Support Network
Women who experience miscarriage all too often suffer and mourn in silence, not knowing how to talk about it or to whom. Westminster Presbyterian Church hopes to change this. The Prenatal Loss Network was created to help bring what can be a privately devastating occurrence into our common circle of prayer and support. We are a network of women who have suffered similar losses and hope to offer others whatever solace and comfort we can. With the help of the Prayer Shawl Ministry of Westminster we give women a hand-knitted Prayer Square, which represents our concern and sympathy for them following the loss of their child. It is a tangible reminder of the love of Jesus Christ who watches over all of His precious children.
It is very hard to lose someone the outside world has never known. Our goal is for women to know that they are not alone, ever. God is with them always, as are countless sisters who have grieved prenatal loss, each in her own way. Contact Melissa Creech at prenatalloss@westpreschurch.org.
Infertility Network
For those who are yearning to conceive a child, there are people to support you by providing a listening, caring and supportive presence.
Communion to the Homebound
Westminster
Presbyterian celebrates Holy Communion on the first sunday of each month and quarterly volunteers deliver and administer Communion to our homebound members.
Helping Hands
This handy group of Westminster members provides routine household assistance and basic fix-up tasks for elderly and disabled church members with minor home-repair problems.
Transportation Ministry
For those who require transportation to and from the church services, this ministry will pick you up and take you home.
Bereavement Care Team Ministry
A meal may be requested for a home, at the church before or after the memorial service, or at a reception at the church following the memorial service. Other forms of care may include sending sympathy cards, providing hospitality, serving or cleaning up at meals provided by the church.
Culinary Care Team Ministry
Provides compassionate care through meal delivery to members or friends of our congregation in circumstances when an individual or an immediate family member has a short-term critical need, such as an out-of-town death, sickness or injury.
