Westminster Presbyterian Church

About this church

Westminster Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville holds Sunday worship at 10:30 a.m. at 400 Rugby Road, and the service is also available online. The congregation belongs to the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Presbytery of the James, and it serves the University of Virginia and the wider Charlottesville and Albemarle area. Worship combines congregational singing, scripture, prayer, and music from choirs and instruments. The church uses inclusive language, so hymn texts are sometimes adjusted and printed in the bulletin. A fellowship hour follows the service in the Gathering Place, or on the lawn when weather permits. Extra services are held at Easter and Christmas, so check the church calendar for those times.

Families are encouraged to worship together. Nursery care covers infancy through first grade, and a comfort room with speakers is downstairs under the sanctuary for adults with small children. Three choirs sing in services (adult, youth, and children), and an organ concert series has run since 1980. Youth in grades 9 through 12 meet Sunday mornings, with a monthly youth group and retreats. Church school is offered for elementary-age children. UKirk@UVA serves university students and young adults, including brunch in Common Grounds after the service when UVA is in session. Other opportunities include adult learning, service and justice work, and benevolence grants. Questions can go to the church office at (434) 293-3133.
