Rethinking "Church" Where did we go wrong? How did we make it so complicated? What is church really supposed to be like? Our goal and our commitment for the Bridge Worship Gathering at Westminster Presbyterian Church is to be a relevant worship experience that celebrates the past, recognizes the present, and keeps an eye on the future. We strive to model the early church in the Book of Acts and adhere to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. If you're looking for a place where you can connect with others, (Fellowship), grow in your understanding of the Bible (Discipleship), find a place to use the gifts God has gifted you with (Ministry), be able to serve and share your faith confidently with others (Mission), and sing praises to God with all you heart, soul and mind (Worship), then the Bridge Worship Gathering is the place for you. We're all at different places on the journey and we invite you to join in right where you are. We meet every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the gym at Westminster Church in Upper St. Clair. Look for the signs. We'll save you a seat.
