Children

Westminster is a great place to grow up. The nurseries have caring,loving arms waiting to hold your youngest ones during worship or during other church-sponsored events. Our preschoolers begin to explore what is God. The elementary school children continue to explore their relationship with God while learning about the Bible, Church, and what a church family means.

Come. Explore. Grow.

Children learn in different ways so Christian values and themes are taught in a variety of forms -- through songs, dramas, computer games, movies, crafts, and doing acts of service for others. Children are welcome in all of our church services where the ministers take time during the service to sit with them on the Chancel for a short sermon message or they can attend age-appropriate church classes or Children's Worship.
