Celebrating 150 Years of Faith and Community

Join us in celebrating a remarkable milestone — 150 years of faith, community, and service at Westminster Presbyterian Church!

Celebrating Together

As we commemorate this significant anniversary, we invite you to join us in celebrating our rich history, our vibrant present, and our promising future. To celebrate this achievement, we have planned a few special events during the first weekend of May that honor our past, celebrate our present, and envision our future. 

Anniversary Mission Project with Undue Medical Debt

In honor of our 150th anniversary, we are embarking on a special mission project with Undue Medical Debt. Together, we aim to alleviate medical debt for individuals and families in need within our community. This initiative reflects our commitment to serving others and making a positive impact on the lives of those facing financial hardship due to medical expenses.
