Ministries
Music
The music ministry of WPC plays a vital role in the worship and congregational life of our church family. We provide musical leadership for corporate worship and developing the musical talents of God's people. We strive for excellence in our music in order to reflect the majesty and glory of God, and we are continually challenged to present our best musical offering unto the Lord for His name's sake.
Instrumental Ensembles
Other ensembles are formed occasionally to present special service music and accompany choirs or soloists as needed. All band and orchestral instruments are welcome according to the gifts and talents of our people.
Orchestra
This ensemble accompanies congregational singing every worship service..
Sanctuary Choir
The primary music ensemble of WPC. It is open to adults and young people who want to use their musical gifts to lead in worship and present seasonal concerts. This choir sings and leads in worship every Lord’s Day September through June. Rehearsals are weekly August through May on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the Westminster Christian Academy Brockway campus.
Fellowship Opportunities
Crown Club
An opportunity for “seasoned citizens” to study the Bible together, pray for one another (especially the children of the congregation) and have fun. Meets at the Nursery Modular - Brockway Campus on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month for Bible Study and lunch. Special activities and trips as scheduled.
Home Groups
Home Groups provide members with an informal time of study, conversation, and prayer in members’ homes from August through May. Location and times are published in the church bulletin. Most groups meet August through May.
Men’s Forums
Groups meet during the year, August through May, and provide men with a time of study, conversation, and prayer.
Women in the Church (WIC)
The purpose of WIC is that every woman know Christ personally and be committed to extending his Kingdom in her life, home, church, community and throughout the world. Our goal is that this will become a reality through Ladies’ Bible Studies, ministry opportunities, discussion groups, social events, retreats, and informal gatherings.
Fall Bible study times and topics will be announced during the summer.
Youth and Family
Westminster’s Youth and Family Ministry supports and encourages the covenant family structure. The purpose of the Junior and Senior High Youth Groups is to equip young people to live and think according to a biblical world and life view. We are committed to more than just talking about faith, but actively living and sharing that faith with others through word and deed. Key discipleship components include study, leadership training, serving and activities. Youth Groups are an important part of the church and are connected to the overall family ministry of WPC.
