Serving Our Community…

Westminster responds to local concerns in many ways.  Weekly classes for Latina women with small children are provided to help them cope with issues of domestic abuse, poverty and language.  We mentor at-risk children through the Everybody Wins literacy program, whose offices are located on the main level of our building.  On the church’s lower level, we house and provide volunteer support for the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), a shelter for homeless families.

Our summer day-camps for inner-city kids provide nurture and enjoyment.  We regularly cook and serve meals for the homeless in our community.  Westminster also sponsors a summer mission internship program called SUMMIT for college students.  SUMMIT participants receive education grants and valuable life experience.
