Faith Formation 
Opportunities

Cornerstone Class
Sundays | 10am | Room 203
Facilitators | Wilson Davis, Jim Gale, and Craig Siler
​

You are invited to join a new study with the Cornerstone Class of author Philip Yancey's classic Christian best-seller, What's So Amazing About Grace?  The 10-week study also includes video material each session. In his book, Yancey offers compelling portraits of grace's life-changing power. He searches for it in his own life, in the church and in our lives as well. As God's love to others, he asks, what does grace look like in action--and how are we doing at sharing it with others? Facilitators will be Jim Gale, Wilson Davis and Craig Siler. Contact Wilson Davis (336-370-6568) in advance to order a book.

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. 

Fellowship & Fitness

Dad Life

Third Tuesday of the Month (during the school year), 7-8:30pm | Locations Vary

It’s an opportunity to build community, to share and glean best practices, and to be both vulnerable and encouraging. Contact Sam Perkins with any questions.

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 working towards Earth Care designation.

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.
