Rev. Caroline Dennis, Pastor
Caroline Dennis began her ministry at WPC in August of 2019. She brings to us years of experience with children and family ministry, a passion for storytelling and inviting children to be active participants in worship and the full life of the church, and a heart for mission with rather than mission to others with whom we share our community and world. As Caroline's first call as head of staff, and WPC's first called pastor as a re-formed church, the excitement we all feel as we continue this new journey together is palpable!
Elders
Underpinning every strong church is a strong body of decision-makers. As Presbyterian polity requires, Westminster is governed by elected leaders, known as Ruling Elders. They work as a leadership team called a Session. The Session is moderated by the Pastor. To ensure that all of our work is done "decently and in good order," Westminster has five standing committees, each chaired by one or more Ruling Elders.
Westminster is blessed to have a strong, committed leadership team. Current Session members and their ministry teams assignments are:
-
Claire Kuhl, Clerk of Session
-
David Hammond, Treasurer
-
Bill Kimler, Business Administration
-
Luke Christie, Music and Worship
-
Richard Wilson & Laine Horowitz, Mission & Outreach
-
Ginny Cartee, Nurture & Christian Education
-
Rob Graves, Congregational Care
Larry Dozier and Claire Kuhl, Volunteer Organists
Larry has been playing the organ for churches since he was 16 years of age. He uses his God-given talents and skills to praise God and to enhance the worship experience of the congregation. Larry is a retired hospital executive. He is married to Nancy, one of the exceptional cooks and hostesses in our congregation! Together they have three sons and five beautiful grandchildren.
​
​​Claire played organ for a church service for the first time when she was 11 years old, and during her high school and immediate post-college years served as organist/choirmaster for Methodist, Baptist, and Episcopalian churches. Now, after a 35-year hiatus, she is attempting to support worship at WPC with her rusty skills. In real life, Claire owns a management consulting practice and is married to Steve Kuhl.
