Westminster Presbyterian Church

Description

Westminster Presbyterian Church was founded in the then-rural community of Upper St. Clair in August 1946 by a young Marine Chaplain, John Galbreath, who had just returned from the war in the Pacific. He went door-to-door, visiting people and inviting them to come to a new church he was establishing. Rev. Galbreath's goal was to find people where people were hurting and try to help them.

Sixty-two years later, Westminster has become a landmark in the South Hills area. Located just a half-mile south of South Hills Village on Route 19, Westminster offers three Sunday worship services in a beautiful Georgian building that houses over 400 activities each month, including a nursery school, an early childhood development center, the Westminster Recreational Outreach Center (WROC), and an outdoor labyrinth available for meditation year round.

Westminster's Music & Arts Series offers a variety of musical programs in its acoustically superior sanctuary. These events are scheduled from October through May and are free and open to the public.
