Women's Studies

Circles
2nd Tuesdays, 6:30pm | Fellowship Hall
2nd Wednesdays, 10am | Fellowship Hall

Using the 2025–2026 PW/Horizons Bible study, Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ by Rhashell D. Hunter, we will explore resilience. This is modeled for us by several biblical characters, gospel and epistle writers, as well as Jesus.  The Bible study is also about joy. How do we find joy in a chaotic world? Christian joy may be different from how a lot of people define joy.  We will also seek to rediscover our identity.
Thirsty Thursday Study
Thursdays, 9:30am | Room 203
All are welcome to join us as we study Jen Wilkin’s study of Genesis 12-50, God of Covenant, which studies the stories of the fathers of our faith - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. The study walks you through verse by verse, tracing the themes of covenant, resurrection, redemption, and hope.
S’mores Bible Study

Ministry of Spiritual Practice

 

The Ministry of Spiritual Practice is intentionally inclusive, inviting all seekers into community to cultivate deeper listening that enables and supports the inward and outward journeys of transformation. Participants value hard questions and together risk saying “we do not know” so that the Spirit might re-make us. 

 

Grounded in the Spirit, participants actively join in the whole life of the Westminster community and move out into the world with generous hearts and minds.

Walking Group

Fourth Saturday of the Month, 8am | Lewis Recreation Center parking lot at Country Park (3110 Forest Lawn Dr.)​

 

This group is open to everyone who would like to connect with others in a way that is laidback with a little wellness thrown in there. We meet in the Lewis Recreation Center parking lot at Country Park (3110 Forest Lawn Dr.).  Parking lot is just to the left of the recreation center.  We tend to walk 4 miles, which flies by when having conversations. The walk meanders through both Country Park and Battleground Park on the greenway. Walk at your own pace. We tend to have donuts and coffee at times at the end.​

​

Please note that this group will not meet in December 2025, but stay tuned for more updates as we look forward to walking with you in the new year!

Creation Care

Creation Care.jpg

As people of faith, informed by scripture and inspired by the Holy Spirt, we believe stewardship of creation is a spiritual and moral imperative as well as a practical one. We seek to honor and care for God’s creation in all aspects of our church life, including worship, education, outreach, fellowship, and care of our facilities. We will encourage, educate and support our members’ efforts to live sustainably. We are currently an Earth Care Congregation for 2025.

Micah Connection

Justice & Advocacy
Third Thursdays | 12pm | Church Library​

Micah Connection is a group of people/members who are exploring what it means to “act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

Begun in 2014 as a discussion group on topics related to race relations, the group has expanded its focus to include other justice issues. Seeking to follow Jesus and be part of healing God’s world, Micah meets regularly as a small group engaging in learning, relationship-building, advocacy, and action.

Micah also partners with the Adult Ministry and other committees to offer church-wide educational and advocacy opportunities as appropriate. In this way, Micah seeks to fulfill one of our denomination’s Great Ends of the Church, the “promotion of social righteousness.”

Micah Connection business meetings are at 12pm on third Thursdays in the church library. We welcome anyone with an interest in our mission.

Latest offerings can be found on this page or by visiting our Upcoming Events.

We invite you to learn more about Micah Connection by contacting Nancy Dezan.
