Westminster Calls Rev. Betsy Swetenburg as Next Senior Pastor & Head of Staff

Dear Westminster,

This past Sunday, the congregation gathered following worship to hear the recommendation from the Pastor Nominating Committee for Westminster’s next Senior Pastor and Head of Staff.

After a season of conversation, listening, prayer, and discernment, the Pastor Nominating Committee brought forward the Rev. Betsy Lyles Swetenburg for the congregation’s consideration. Borrowing language from Betsy’s own Statement of Faith, the committee shared that this call has left them “set aflame with Holy Joy.”

The congregation voted unanimously to call Rev. Swetenburg to begin serving on January 26, 2026.

Prayers are invited for their family as they prepare to move to Greensboro and say goodbye to their community at Northridge Presbyterian Church in Dallas.

Deep gratitude is extended to the Pastor Nominating Committee for its thoughtful and faithful work: Debbie Brown, Jim Gale, Daphne Haverkamp, Beverly Hill, Harper Hudson, Judy Phelps, Greg Rosendale, and Paul Wingate.

With gratitude and hope,

Westminster Presbyterian Church
