Worshiping and Serving in the City of Trenton, NJ
Located in the heart of Trenton, NJ, Westminster Presbyterian Church is a diverse, open and affirming community-of-faith for all. By God's grace and faithfulness we have remained a vital urban ministry from generation to generation. Empowered by the Holy Spirit we are seeking the shalom of the city!
Westminster, which was chartered in 1898, has transformed along with its neighborhood over the last twelve decades. Our pastor and leaders reflect the changing complexion of the community.
A joyful "rehearsal for the Kin-dom" (Family of God), our intercultural worship takes inspiration from Revelation 7:9-10. "After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying,“Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
