We drink from wells we did not dig.

Every generation of Westminster has been shaped by the faithfulness of those who came before—by people who invested boldly so that ministry could flourish long after them. Because of their vision, we worship in a beautiful sanctuary, gather in a vibrant fellowship hall, learn and serve in spaces designed for connection, and welcome our neighbors onto a campus alive with purpose.

Now, we find ourselves standing at a familiar and faithful crossroads.

We are drinking deeply from wells we did not dig.

And the question before us is clear:

Will we deepen our wells for those who are coming next?

WHY NOW?

“Westminster is a healthy, vibrant congregation, and we enter this effort from a position of financial strength. Generous support now will help minimize future debt and allow the church to address ministry and hospitality needs from a place of confidence and responsibility.” — Paul Grier, member of the Capital Campaign Committee

Acting now, we will extend hospitality and deepen connection with those who have already sought out community and our ministries. And we will continue to be a beacon for those who are still searching for a place to worship, serve and belong.

Dear Westminster,

Over the past year, hundreds of Westminster members have participated in conversations about our future. From those conversations, one message emerged: Westminster is blessed with vibrant and growing ministries. Faced with extraordinary growth, our members broadly agree that our facilities should be updated to ensure that we can do the work to which God is calling us.

After reviewing the results of the Feasibility Study, the Session approved ‘Deepening Wells,’ a campaign that will allow us to build a chapel, update existing offices and shared spaces, and create a WPC Kids wing, ensuring that our nursery and school can meet growing demand.

‘Deepening Wells’ is rooted in our core pillars: hospitality, generosity, justice, imagination, and joy. The project reflects both faithful listening and responsible stewardship. As is our practice for all capital campaigns, we will also extend our outreach beyond our doors, tithing 10% of collected funds to Witness & Service partners.

At the heart of this effort is a simple conviction: the spaces we create and care for today will shape the faith of future generations. The faithful imagination of previous generations enabled our present success. From the saints of this congregation, we inherited deep and clear wells. Long before any of us arrived, they invested sacrificially so that WPC could become the church we know and love. It is now our responsibility to continue their work for the generations to come.

This website outlines our vision and the ways the campaign will strengthen our ministry and witness. We hope you will review them prayerfully and consider the ways God is calling you to participate in the promise of our future.
