Westminster Presbyterian Church
Westminster Presbyterian Church
AI Summary
Westminster is home to an award-winning arts ministry—hosting weekly Friday Night Jazz and Blue Monday blues concerts, Thinking About Jazz programs, and community arts groups—making the church a lively public venue for music and culture. It offers Godly Play children's faith formation both in person and via Zoom (with activity materials delivered to homes and family resources like Lent–Easter passports). The congregation pairs robust social-justice work—first in DC to join Matthew 25—with on-the-ground programs like the Westminster Empowerment Center (HIV and harm-reduction services, Narcan distribution), SW Academy youth IT/A-V training, and a major redevelopment plan that will create 123 affordable senior apartments and a roughly 15,000 sq ft community-serving facility with sustainability targets. Founded in 1853 and located at 400 I Street SW, the church has a long history of LGBTQIA+ affirmation (an early More Light congregation, ordained LGBTQ elders, and about 20% of members self-identifying as LGBTQIA+) and hosts WorldPride events while streaming much of its worship and programming online.
