About First Presbyterian Church of Westminster

You will find our church warm, friendly, and filled with the Holy Spirit. We are blessed with a diverse program appealing to all age groups.

We use lots of contemporary music and many of the traditional favorites. Some people get excited and raise their hands when singing the praise hymns, while others maintain a smile. We have a great music ministry with our adult choirs led by our Director of Music, Rebecca Skidmore. Our Church Organist is Jim Stein.

We have a Sunday morning children's message which adults may enjoy as much as the children do.

The sermons are given by Dr. John Furman, who likes to be called Pastor John, and frequently by Paul Muresan, who likes to be called Pastor Paul. They are profound, to the point, and emphasize basic truths.

At First Presbyterian Church we--

Believe in God as the Creator of all things.

Believe God exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit—the Trinity.

Believe that the Bible is God’s inspired (God-breathed) and infallible (fully trustworthy) Word--our sole authority for Christian faith and daily living.

Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior—the one and only way to salvation.

Believe God’s people are called to holiness in all aspects of daily living. This implies we strive, even though we always fall short, to conform our lives to Christian principles as outlined in the Bible. This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage between a man and awoman, the only relationship within which sexual activity is appropriate.

Participate regularly in weekly worship and invite others to attend.

Recognize the relationship between salvation and good works--that while good works do not produce salvation, there’s something wrong with a salvation that does not produce good works.

Have a deep concern for the lost and a desire to lead them to Christ.

Have a deep concern for those in human need.

Support God’s work with their prayers, money, time and talents.
