Absolutely Everyone is Welcome at Westminster

Because we follow Christ, absolutely everyone is welcome. We don’t assume or presume you to be Christian; we only hope to follow Christ’s example of welcome and love to all. In our culture, there’s a lot of public misuse of Christian and religious language. We hope that won’t discourage you from joining us.

It’s not necessary to know anything in advance of visiting—simply come and join us. If you’d like to know more in advance of visiting, though, you’ll find information on our visitors page.
