Board of Christian Education
Purpose Statement
Ministries to Children and Youth

With congregational support and input, the Board of Christian Education composed a Purpose Statement for the Children and Youth Ministries at Westmoreland. We started with a quote from Westmoreland's Declaration of Purpose:

"It shall be our aim to bring joy to little children, instruction and high ideals to youth, ...and to labor together for the betterment of humankind."

Then we expanded these ideas into the Purpose Statement for Children's and Youth Ministries:

We celebrate all people as children of God embarking on their own spiritual journeys. We seek to enable our children to connect with this holy power throughout their lives. Therefore, we seek to develop in our children:

We strive to achieve these goals through a hands-on, experiential education, in an atmosphere of love and acceptance.
