The Westminster Benevolence Fund supports local benevolence causes, supplements general missions, and provides for special needs.

One Great Hour of Sharing (received on Easter Sunday) supports the Presbyterian Hunger Program, the Presbyterian Committee on Self-Development of People (an international ministry on behalf of the oppressed and disadvantaged), and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

The church keeps 40 percent of the offering to support its own programs for the young; the PCUSA uses its 60 percent to support national programs.

The Peacemaking Offering (received on World Communion Sunday, the first Sunday in October) supports peacemaking efforts. The congregation keeps 25 percent of the offering to use for local projects. For more on how the PCUSA uses its portion, see www.pcusa.org/peacemaking.

The Christmas Joy Offering (received the Sunday before Christmas) goes partly to the Board of Pensions, supporting its work on behalf of retired and active church workers.

“Why am I a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church?  Two words keep  floating up in a rather persistent way  –  “home” and  “family” – and I realized that it is an inescapable fact that is what this church means to me. During my 40 years here, so many life events have happened and Westminster has been there for me through all those times – good and bad.    It has been my home and family.  They say “home is where the heart is” and I’ve found the heart of Westminster to be as open and warm as a family’s!”
