The Gathering | Parents of Children and Youth
Sundays | 10am | Room 104
This is a group of parents, at any stage of parenting, from babies to almost empty nesters. While their studies don’t usually focus on “parenting,” the parenting journey does impact whatever the topic may be. For the weeks April 19-May 17, they will be studying Faith On the Margins from The Work of the People from April 19-May 17. From Work of the People: In a world where faith is often entangled with privilege, nationalism, and exclusion, this series offers an invitation to rediscover the Gospel through the lens of those who suffer. Featuring the prophetic voice of Miguel De La Torre, these five sessions challenge us to move beyond a comfortable, domesticated Christianity toward a faith that stands in radical solidarity with the oppressed. All are welcome!!

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.

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.​​
Care & Support
There are many ways we care for one another at Westminster. From grief and visitation groups, our cancer care ministry, our bereavement care team, and homebound communion service, if you need support your Westminster community wants to be there for you.
For all care and support opportunities, visit this page.
Creation Care
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.

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.
