VISION STATEMENT
Westminster Presbyterian Church is a gathering place filled with God's
Grace helping us become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
STRATEGY
Guided by Five-Core Values, Westminster Presbyterian Church
is a place where each one discovers his or her God-given mission in
life and receives what is needed to pursue that mission.

| Worshiping
Church |
| WPC gathers in three
worship services each Sunday morning, at 8:30, 10:00 and
11:15. Each service of worship, though unique in style, offers
an invitation to encounter our Lord's risen presence. The 8:30 and
10:00 services meet in the Sanctuary. The 11:15 service meets in the
Fellowship Center. Top |
| Inviting
Church |
| WPC is known in the
region of the Conejo Valley for its warmth of welcome to anyone
searching for a good place to call "home." Overlapping systems of
outreach, invitation, greeting and introduction facilitate a process of
assimilating a first-time visitor into active participation. Top |
| Caring
Church |
| Every member and friend
of WPC who has attended for two months or more is a part of a "web of
caring." A network of small caring, support, and discipleship groups
provide each one a way to build in-depth friendship. An active array of
men's, women's, and family ministries provides an easy entry
point for new and long-term members ali.e Top |
| Learning
Church |
| WPC is known in the
community for the quality of its classes, seminars, workshops, retreats
and small groups for growing Christians of all ages. Families discover
thematically interwoven subjects in the Learning Church from preschool
to adults throughout the week. WPC's preschool gives expression to the
vision of WPC's mission in engaging ways which help young families take
their "next step" in Christian growth and discipleship. Children, youth
and adults learn continuously about what it means to be "fully devoted
followers of Jesus Christ" both through Scripturally based content and
training in the disciplines of community life. "Family Matters" classes
and events are offered continuously. WPC's ministry with youth takes in
a ten-year span from 10 to 20 years of age, but also include a ministry
with these families. Top |
| Gift-Evoking
Church |
| There is a "core" of
members and friends at WPC who can articulate the vision, core values,
their own place in the process of Christian discipleship and their
"next step" in that process. "Leadership development" utilizes a
strategy of aligning giftedness with areas of ministry in need of those
gifts. An Office for Lay Ministry coordinates interviews, requests, and
training events to under-gird WPC's ever-growing number of ministries
both inside (worship, music, theater, teaching, caring, leading,
hospitality, etc.) and outside the walls (community organizing,
evangelism, advocacy, compassion, justice, peacemaking, cross-cultural
outreach, etc.). Gift-evoking manifests itself in an increasing
commitment to mission beyond the walls, both in budget and "hands-on"
ministry involvement. Top |
