Department of Administration

The Department of Administration works with the Session to provide oversight to the physical and spiritual needs of the church and congregation. The Personnel, Pastor’s Aid, Communications, Nominating and Property Acquisition Committees, along with Church Staff are within its authority.
God’s laws are perfect, they protect us,
make us wise, and give us joy and light.
Psalms 19:7,8

Department of Christian Education

The Department of Education was established to conduct programs that help persons of all ages increase their knowledge and understanding of their faith in
Jesus Christ. Toward that end, this department develops and maintains Bible Study Sessions which reach every segment of the congregation. It is also responsible for the development and maintenance of the Vacation Bible School and the Church School. Participation in any of the above groups may be achieved by contacting the department chairperson.

“For He gave his laws to Israel and commanded our fathers to
teach them to their children, so that they in turn could teach their children, too”
Psalm 78:5,6

Department of Stewardship

We bring into the royal household all of our talents, skills, and wealth, which have been given to us as gifts from GOD, to be used for GOD.

The Department of Stewardship coordinates and works with the various financial custodial and fiduciary functions associated with the Westminster. Church Committees under the Stewardship Department are Charitable Gifts and Annuities, Finance, Scholarship, Stewardship Training and Trustees. Tithing is emphasized.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16

Department of Worship and Fine Arts

The Department of Worship and Fine Arts assists the Session in giving oversight of the worship services, administration of the Sacraments, coordinating the music ministry, providing support and encouragement to the music staff and providing for pulpit supply in the absence of the pastor.. Included under this department are the choirs, for both adults and children, the Usher Board for the orderly seating of attendees at the services, and an Audio-Visual Group which reproduces service and programs for distribution to the sick, shut-in and others.

Plans are underway to reestablish liturgical dance in the worship.

Let everyone bless God and sing his praises.
Psalms 66:8

Department of Member Care

The Department of Member Care embraces the entire congregation, in that its purpose is to provide opportunities for members to know, love, and care for one another. Its several committees include the Men’s Council, Mariners, Membership Classes, Stephen Ministry, Women’s Association, Deacons and the District Care Ministry. This department automatically touches every member of the congregation, and everyone is invited to take part in one or more of its committees.

The Holy Spirit displays God’s power through each of us
As a means of helping the entire church.
1 Corinthians 12:7


Department of Outreach

The Department of Outreach has, as its major responsibility, the concern for the
Community at large, and the surrounding neighborhood in particular. This department gives evidence that our church cares about our neighbors and humanity in general. This department works with others to alleviate human suffering, and to alleviate the cares of the homeless, hungry, unemployed, and those needing specialized guidance and assistance. We continue to be involved in the Jefferson Park improvement committee and Habitat for Humanity. Two homes were completed and dedicated to selected families in 2003.

It is god when you truly obey our Lord’s command:
“You must love and help your neighbors just as much as you
love and take care of yourself.”
James 2:8
