Westminster Presbyterian Church

Westminster Presbyterian Church is a thriving inter-generational community situated on the southern edge of uptown Charlotte offering a full range of learning and serving opportunities for all.

Westminster is a historic church – we believe what the church has believed for 2000 years, and an evangelical church – we encourage a thoughtful, heartfelt faith. Spend another ten minutes reading and you’ll see what we mean!

Westminster is a part of the Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians (ECO). Ours is a new movement of Presbyterians driven by the desire to reach people with the Good News of the Gospel who have either never heard it or, having grown up in the church, find themselves now wanting to return to church.
