Westminster has been showing up for Nacogdoches for more than 130 years from leading the county's WWI war savings campaign to founding the local Head Start program to housing the Christian Women's Job Corps today. We believe the church exists not for itself but for the world, and that God is already at work in our community. We just join in.
