SERVICES OF WORSHIP: Westminster has two worship services each Sunday morning. The first service begins at 8:15 A.M. and is followed by Sunday School at 9:40 A.M., the second service begins at 10:45 A.M. Both services feature a blend of Christ Centered contemporary praise music and traditional hymns, along with strong and relevant expository preaching from the Word of God.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: We offer classes for all ages from three years old to adults. Each class studies the Bible in age-appropriate settings using a variety of methods. Nursery is also offered during the Sunday School hour.

NURSERY: Westminster provides a caring staff of nursery volunteers to care for and bless children three and under. Nursery is offered during both services and Sunday School.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY: Along with Sunday School, we offer a Wednesday night program for elementary kids K-5th grades known as Kids J.A.M. (Jesus And Me), in which we are using the curriculum Kid's Desiring God developed by Desiring God Ministries. The evening includes a time of singing, teaching and other activities.

YOUTH MINISTRIES: Lead by Richie Stark, Middle School and Senior High Youth Group meets every Sunday evening from 6-7:30 P.M. Besides Sunday nights the youth have various activities that they participate in throughout the year.

Some of the activities that WIC participate in include; an annual fall women's retreat, showers, fellowship events and numerous seasonal activities including bell ringing for Salvation Army and a Christmas brunch.

MUSIC MINISTRIES: Westminster is committed to a blended form of musical worship that exalts Christ and is biblically based. Opportunities abound for those who long to uses their musical gifts to glorify God, these include Adult Choir directed by Janet Vandegriff, Children's Choir directed by Eileen Cheatham and Praise Team lead by Terry Dorris.

GRACE GROUPS: The "small group" ministry is designed to allow individuals in the congregation an opportunity to interact, study the Bible and share with others in the church family in a more informal and intimate way. Westminster's small groups usually meet in the homes of members twice a month and they use a variety of resources to study and apply the scriptures.

PASTORAL COUNSELING: Recognizing that life brings with it difficult situations that cause fear, anxiety and some times even depression, we believe that Biblical counsel, pastoral care and prayer can be of great benefit. Pastor Adrian is available to counsel people who desire assistance with life and family issues. This ministry is available to those both inside and outside the church family.

PRAYER-CARE: Along with our continuous prayer chain that updates members on prayer concerns in the church, Jim and Ruth Dodd head up a team of prayer warriors that call each member on the first Monday of the month for prayer concerns that they may have. These prayer requests are kept confidential unless otherwise stated by the member and are prayed for that night.

OCCASSIONAL MINISTRY OPPORTUNTIES:

• VBS - along with summer Vacation Bible School each year, Westminster will often offer a half day Christmas and Easter VBS.
