Who We Are
Who We Are
Our Mission Statement reads,
Westminster is an inclusive church for progressive Christians...
Creating something beautiful for God.
The above statements mean: we at Westminster United Church strive to have a faith-understanding and a mission and ministry, which are supportive, open-minded, hopeful, credible, inclusive, progressive and relevant to life in the 21st century.
We also strive ‘to be loving and compassionate as God is loving and compassionate’ [Luke 6:36]; and because we faithfully follow the teachings and example of Jesus of Nazareth we are advocates for peace as well as social and ecological justice.
We take the Bible seriously, but not literally.
Acknowledgement of Territory
Westminster United Church sits on the traditional territory
of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations,
which includes the Ojibwa, the Odawa, and the Potawatomie.
We respect the longstanding relationships with First Nations people in this place,
in the 100-mile Windsor-Essex Peninsula
and the straits - les detroits - of Detroit.
