Westminster Music
Music is the core of worship at Westminster Church. Incredible inspirational music can touch the soul of those present like nothing else. It can reveal the presence of the Holy among us and inspire us to be our best selves. Your gifts to this fund support all our varied music ensembles from the sanctuary choirs and bell choirs to the River Rock Band.
Westminster Historic Building
