Westminster has an active outreach program. Our faith calls us to exercise compassion in the world in the following areas of peace and justice:
the homeless,
the hungry,
those lacking health care and clean water and suffering from diseases,
the disenfranchised and victims of unfair systems,
those who are not safe and are subject to violence and mistreatment,
those who are lacking education or job skills,
those who suffer from prejudices due to lack of understanding diversity,
and peacemaking projects.

Westminster Presbyterian has been one of the strongest supporters of The Preserve for several years. We have hosted the annual garage sale, provided specific donations for needs of the young men, provided computers and printers, and donated money to support the house as well as needed repairs and maintenance.
