Ministry Description With 139 years of history, we are proud of our past and encouraged by our present. We engage meaningfully with each other and our neighbors. We believe that God is calling us to become a better, more generous, more spiritually alive version of ourselves. Westmoreland has a successful youth program, terrific music, and no shortage of people willing to serve. Many of us are involved in social justice efforts. We are a theologically diverse congregation. Congregants often do not agree on the nature of God, or the teachings of Jesus, or the importance of the Bible; we view this diversity as another strength. We also recognize that there is room to challenge ourselves more deeply. We will remain active in the world, and open to becoming witnesses to and builders of an inclusive, caring world, rooted in the mind and spirit of Jesus. At this time in the life of the church, we are especially open to dynamic new ways of being in ministry. We seek a settled minister who will continue to nurture our children, youth and adults, and who will carry-on God’s work of justice and love both locally and in the wider world. We believe that where there is suffering and sadness, we are called to be more engaged in ministry. We invite a minister who will revel in the beauty and diversity of our worship and music; who will foster a deeper spirituality; who will offer inspirational sermons that are meaningful, thoughtful and challenging; who will promote the importance of generosity; who is committed to acting for social justice; and who offers an extravagant welcome to all in the Westmoreland congregation.
