Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC) of Rockford, Illinois has been an important part of the community since 1856. Through the years, God’s leading has blessed our church with great vision for growth as well as opportunity in times of challenge. Our vision statement is Missionaries: Inviting, Growing, Serving. This vision is expressed through three primary pillars:
Inviting: Our goal is to extend an open invitation to all individuals seeking a spiritual home. We strive to provide an opportunity to connect with others and with Christ through programs and service. Christian Community is enhanced by the many programs and activities made possible within our multi-use facility on 40 acres in a growing area of northeast Rockford.
Growing: Spiritual growth and discipleship are at the heart of our vision. Focusing on Christian foundations builds faith, people, and leaders, equipping them for service within WPC and the community. We recognize that talent and skill diversity in our congregation is a strength and seek to grow a base of leadership that serves our vision actions.
Serving: Service to others is a fundamental expression of our faith. We seek to empower our members to use their gifts and talents in service to others, living out the gospel through practical acts of love and support. We believe that by inviting people into our community, fostering their spiritual growth, and engaging in meaningful service, we can faithfully live out our calling as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Westminster Presbyterian Church is a resilient congregation with a strong core base of membership. We are seeking a strong leader to cross the bridge between our past and our future as we pursue our vision for our next generation.
