Youth ministry

Witnessing to the love and grace of Jesus Christ through a variety of educational and relational activities, Westminster's Youth Program ministers to junior high (grades 6 - 8) and senior high (grades 9 - 12) young people, young adults (ages 19-25), and their families and friends. The Youth Program is staffed by the Director of Youth Ministry who works in conjunction with the Youth Committee. Youth Music opportunities are under the oversight of our Director of Music and Music Committee. Youth are involved in the ministry of Westminster through:

  •     Sunday morning worship and service as worship leaders
  •     Sunday church school, including small group discussion and service projects, crafts, and Bible study.
  •     Sunday evening Junior High Fellowship (5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m., Sept-June)
  •     Sunday evening Senior High Fellowship (7:30 p.m.-9:00 p.m., Sept-June)
  •     Midweek Summer Fellowship for Junior and Senior High Youth
  •     Monthly Young Adult Gatherings
  •     Local service projects
  •     Annual summer mission trip (Junior and Senior Highs)
  •     Presbytery and denominational youth gatherings and camps
  •     Confirmation classes offered each spring for high school youth
  •     Retreats, ski trips, lock-ins, and other special events.

All weekly and monthly meetings for young people in the Youth and Young Adult Program are open to newcomers at any time during the year. For more information, contact our Director of Youth Ministry, Lisa Stine.

YOUTH PROGRAM INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

We will make every effort to maintain as scheduled Sunday morning and evening activities as long as the building remains lit, warm, and accessible. We do NOT encourage those living more than walking distance from Westminster to attempt to drive to the church in poor weather if there is a chance of being stranded away from home for several hours, as the Church does not have adequate supplies to support large groups in an emergency. Our best advice is to tune into the local news via radio or television for the latest closure info, or call the Church (503-287-1289, ext. 16) if road conditions are adverse.
