Missions Ministries

Our church believes in helping others through various missions, mostly through the Christian Outreach Committee and through the Women’s Fellowship Group.

The power of love and caring can change the world.

Christian outreach committee

Through the Christian Outreach Committee, our church is able to reach out to our neighboring communities and the world to provide assistance in times of need.

The mission of the Christian Outreach Committee is to spread Christ’s compassion out to our neighboring communities and the world’s citizens by partnering with charitable organizations to provide aid and assistance to those in need.

The committee hosts Sunday morning coffee hours as well as distributing special offering envelopes, which provide the congregation with the opportunity to contribute to those in need.  Through their generosity assistance is given to organizations like One Great Hour of Sharing, Neighbors in Need, Veterans of the Cross and Disaster relief.

During the Advent Season, we decorate a Giving Tree where members of the congregation select tags from this tree and bring wrapped gifts to be donated to HOPE for Kids in area towns.   Members also decorate a tree with warm mittens, hats, and scarves that are donated to local families.

The Westminster Food Pantry is a very important part of our local support.  This is supported through monies collected at Sunday coffee hours and a collection of food throughout the year.

WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP

The mission of the Women’s Fellowship of the First Congregational Church of Westminster is to create opportunities for women to connect to God, church, community and each other through diverse programs, service, and fellowship and by recognizing the gifts of all women of the church to aid in the response of the material spiritual and social needs of others.

The events and activities of the Women’s Fellowship are open to all
women of the church. They include social, spiritual, and service events.
fundraising events, including our annual apple pie baking, benefit the
Church as well as other charities.

You can learn about these programs through this website, the church newsletter Epistle, and by joining the email list of women of the church.
