Frequently Asked Questions

How Big Is Westminster?
We have approximately 250 members on our active roles. Attendance at Sunday worship ranges from approximately 80 to 100.

Where Are You Located?
Westminster is located at 1551 E. Portland St., on the corner of Portland and Delaware in southeast Springfield, 2 blocks north of Sunshine between Glenstone and National.

What Time Are Services?
Sunday School for children through adults begins at 9:15 a.m. every Sunday from September through July. Worship follows at 10:30 a.m.

What Do Presbyterians Believe?
Like all protestants, we believe in the living, triune God the father, Jesus Christ His son, and the Holy Spirit. We know the Old and New Testament Bible to be the authoritative and inspired Word of God. We practice baptism. We celebrate communion. We seek to love God and our neighbors. And we strive to share the Good News among all. Where our beliefs differ from some denominations is in our adherance to what is commonly known as Reformed Theology, and to a distinctive form of representational church government which involves ministers and laity, men and women, as equals.

How Can I Become A Member?
At Westminster, we welcome new members to our congregation three ways: 1) By letter of transfer from another church; 2) By reaffirmation of faith, and; 3) By confession of faith. For more detailed information, contact our church office or pastor. New Member classes are held on a regular basis; we'd love to have you join us.
