Learning and Growing
"So live in Christ Jesus the Lord. Be rooted and built up in him, be established in the faith and overflow with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7
Faith Formation at Westminster
We believe that faith formation is a life-long journey, and we're committed to helping everyone grow and deepen their faith. We offer church school classes for all ages and stages, with classes for preschoolers, middle school and high school youth, and for adults, including our Opening Doors class that welcomes differently-abled adults. Church school meets from September through May on Sunday mornings, from 9:00-10:10 a.m. We also have a monthly Bible study group, a prayer shawl group, and mid-week gatherings for dinner, worship and study at different times during the year, such as Lent. Please contact Rev. Lynne Clements with questions or for more information.
One of the greatest blessings of my life has been able to raise my kids at Westminster. Some of the people who taught me Sunday school are now really important in my kids’ lives, and that is incredibly unique."-Westminster Parent
