Community Service
At Westminster, we deeply value our community. Students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and all of us connected to Westminster in one way or another are part of a culture that seeks to live the way Christ wants us to live
Spiritual formation is an integral part of our community. It is deeply rooted in Westminster's vision statement: to prepare and equip more young men and women to engage the world and change it for Jesus Christ.
One of the many ways to integrate spiritual formation into Westminster's experience is by providing our students ample opportunities to practice one of our core values: Lead by Serving.
