Welcome to Westminster Presbyterian Church

Look for parking in any of our parking areas (see map), and head through our doors to toward the sanctuary on the southeast side of the campus.  On your way, grab some coffee/lemonade and a little snack!  Our greeters are by the sanctuary entrance and are eager to help you find your way to the sanctuary or childcare check-in, or answer any questions.  

Based on our understanding of Scripture, Jesus has given the Church two sacraments to keep: Baptism and the Lord's Supper.  Our tradition acknowledges that these are signs of a deeper spiritual reality for followers of Christ. 

• Baptism is the seal of one belonging to Christ.  We baptize both adults and children, believing that the act itself does not cause one's salvation, but marks one's faith (or in the case of children, the faith of the child's parents) in Christ alone.   (Matthew 28:18-20)  
• The Lord's Supper (aka Eucharist & Communion) is an invitation made to those who belong to Christ.  By participating in this small-but-significant meal, we faithfully remember and cherish the sacrifice of Christ and we identify ourselves as his New Covenant family.  At WPC, we celebrate by intinction, which simply means we dip a piece of bread into the juice, then eat. We partake in the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of every even-numbered month and during Lent (7 weeks) and Advent (4 weeks).  NOTE: Children are allowed to partake, although this may be a decision you make as a family.  (1 Corinthians 11:23-29)

While other traditions practice these two sacraments differently, we believe it is not the manner, but the meaning of these actions that matter.  You are certainly welcome to contact us if you have questions about either of these sacraments.

We are excited about children joining us and being a part of our worship! (Learn more!) Since we are committed to welcoming your child and keeping him/her safe, please consider sending a message to Becky Odum, Director of Children's Ministries (children@wpcspartanburg.org) to let her know you might be visiting.   

Another safety note: we have a safety officer onsite every Sunday and a team of individuals who monitor our hallways.

We believe small groups provide the best ways to begin involvement.  Since we have groups of all types, contact Justin Lewis, Pastor for Smaller Communities at justin.lewis@wpcspartanburg.org and he will get you on the track for the right group (Visit our Small Group opportunities and Sunday Morning Adult Bible Studies.)
