Westminster Presbyterian Church

This page highlights a bit about Westminster Presbyterian Church in Barrie, ON.

We worship on Sundays (with Nursery and Sunday School) at 10:01 a.m. For a sense of what to expect on a Sunday morning here's our 'new to Westminster' page: http://www.westminsterpc.ca/newtowestminster.html

We are a family-friendly church seeking to serve Christ and our neighbours.

Our worship style is "blended," meaning you'll sing a mix of newer praise songs and traditional hymns. On one Sunday you might sing "In Christ Alone" and also "How Great Thou Art."

Over the past several years Westminster has gone through a period of renewal as the congregation has become more diverse, and as programs have expanded to connect with wider interest ranges. In all things, we try to connect people with a meaningful worship experience and also learning opportunities to deepen faith in our modern, changing times.

Our pastor is Matthew Ruttan (Rev). He has served as the minister since 2008. (You can see his website, blog and biography at www.matthewruttan.com.) Our Music Director is Jenn Harris, and our Youth and Education Co-ordinator is Julie Cunha. These three love serving together and bring an infectious enthusiasm to church life.

The congregation is overseen by a group of 10 elders who meet monthly to prayerfully discern the direction of the church together.

In a nutshell, we love Jesus, and do our best to praise, learn about, and follow him together!
