Broadly Inclusive

Westminster seeks to be welcoming; relational through mentoring, group development, leadership training, and networking; supportive through small groups and Stephen Ministry; loving and faithful in diversity of expression; a church of gratitude and service.

Westminster embraces the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) call for diversity and inclusiveness as a witness to the uniqueness of the Christian faith.

"The fellowship of Christians as it gathers for worship and orders its corporate life will display a rich variety of form, practice, language, program, nurture, and service to suit culture and need.

"Our unity in Christ enables and requires the church to be open to all persons and to the varieties of talents and gifts of God's people, including those who are in the communities of the arts and sciences.

"Persons of all racial ethnic groups, different ages, both sexes, various disabilities, diverse geographical areas, different theological positions consistent with the Reformed tradition, as well as different marital conditions (married, single, widowed, or divorced) shall be guaranteed full participation and access to representation in the decision making of the church."
