Our Vision: The vision that has captured our church is that we would be "a house of prayer for all peoples". Come here if you want to be prayed for by name. We will pray that God will release blessings into your life, and into the lives of those you love. Come join us here if you want to connect with others who are on a spiritual journey. We don't have any prayer "experts," but we have people who are ready to try new things. One new thing we're trying is called "prayer circle." People meet to share their lives and pray together. It's that simple. We have been surprised by the way these circles have brought us together, taught us how to be Christian, and encouraged us. Here at Westminster, we do a lot of the usual "church things." But the unique gift of this congregation to you is that we seek to be a house of prayer of all peoples. If you're looking for some encouragement in developing a spiritual life, and if you're seeking friends who share that spiritual hunger, we invite you to join us. | |

Mission Yearbook - September 7, 2008 Westminster Presbyterian Church Our church seeks to be "a house of prayer for all peoples" (Isaiah 56:7). We have a prayer room that is used exclusively for prayer by groups and individuals. We also have "prayer circles" that meet at different times throughout the week. Through these groups, friendships have deepened and lives have been changed. One step at a time, we are learning what it means to be a church that prays. We reach out to the people around us in several ways. Each month, our Board of Deacons brings lunch to the children at the nearby "Kidstreet Park." We give food, clothing, and hygiene items to Interfaith Cooperative Ministry (ICM) in downtown Phoenix. We make financial contributions to ICM, Ecumenical Chaplaincy for the Homeless, and the DUCK after-school program at Historic First Presbyterian Church. We are located in a part of Phoenix that was "the edge of town" when we were chartered in the 1950s, but is now a diverse urban community. There are people from many nations nearby, with the largest number coming from Mexico. It is difficult for a traditional congregation such as ours to serve in a changing environment. We currently provide meeting space for an independent Spanish-speaking congregation, but we are seeking God's guidance on how we can have a Hispanic ministry that is part of our congregation's mission. Please pray that we would have wisdom as we look to our church's future. | |
