About Us
Westminster Presbyterian Church is a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America, and is committed to historic Christian worship in a multi-generational congregation, expository preaching, meaningful Christian fellowship, pastoral care, and the education and nurture of the church's covenant children.
History
Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC) holds a unique position in the Huntsville community. For over 50 years, our dedication to Reformed worship and ministry has shaped the lives of several generations as we endeavor to fulfill our mission - to glorify and enjoy God by worshiping him, shepherding his people, and advancing his kingdom, according to the Bible, God's inerrant word.
We stand firm in our commitment to reverent worship and theological integrity. Our commitment to building Christ's church is evident in the planting of nine churches in Alabama and Tennessee.
Our largest ministry is Westminster Christian Academy, a preK-12 school serving more than 600 students on two campuses. WCA has been in continuous operation for 45 years. Among Reformed churches in our area, we have a unique commitment to Christian Education.
Our new church and school facility is located on a 42-acre campus in northwest Huntsville, one of our region's fastest growing areas. Construction is currently underway.
WPC is a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America, a denomination in the Christian family committed to the authority of scripture, biblical worship, and global missions.
WPC is committed to the Bible as the written Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and life.
Beliefs
We confess our faith through the classic statements of Presbyterian and Reformed theology found in the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Larger Catechism, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. We believe that these documents are an excellent summary of the system of doctrine found in the Bible.

Persons interested in membership attend a new members class, meet with the Session, and are admitted to membership on the basis of a credible confession of faith in Christ.
Building Project
Westminster Presbyterian Church currently worships in the gymnasium on the Brockway campus. Future plans include a permanent sanctuary and additional structures to support the educational mission of Westminster Christian Academy.
