Children at Westminster are deeply involved in the life of the church.
The church is one of the few places in our culture where many generations naturally come together in community. Our ministry creates opportunities for children, youth, and adults to be in fellowship with one another as we grow together as followers of Christ in faith, trust, and love.
Church School
Sundays at 9:15 am (September–May)
For at least the first few months of the 2021-22 programming year, Church School (ages 3 through 5th grade) is meeting via Zoom on Sunday mornings at 9:15 am. We meet weekly in large and small group opportunities on Zoom, as well as a few in-person, socially-distanced events, as we are able. We look forward to gathering together again in our church building for Church School whenever we are safely able to do so!
Children’s Choirs
Seraphim Choir (Grades 1-3) Zoom
Once a child enters first grade, they are eligible to move into the Seraphim Choir. Seraphim meets Wednesday evenings from 6-6:30 pm via Zoom and is directed by Brad Ollmann who has been working with the younger choirs at Westminster since 2006. The rehearsal experience is designed to be fun while developing important music skills such as in-tune singing, steady beat, and playing instruments.
Chorister Choir (Grades 4-6) Zoom
Fourth through sixth graders are invited to participate in the Chorister Choir. Choristers meet from 6-6:30 pm on Wednesday evenings via Zoom and are led by Joseph Trucano, Westminster’s Organist and Ensemble Director. The rehearsal experience expands on skills developed in Seraphim choir, while including more advanced skills such as music improvisation.
