As a college we strive to provide a supportive atmosphere that welcomes and respects individuals who represent a wide range of beliefs. The Westminster community reflects a faith-based, service-over-self philosophy. It allows for a climate of respect for people of all faiths and backgrounds, creates camaraderie, and giving of self.

Since its beginnings in 1852 Westminster College has been a church-related institution. We are related to the Presbyterian Church (USA) by covenant with the Synod of the Trinity. “Students at Westminster are enrolled in a college sustained through the decades by what was the United Presbyterian Church of North America. This heritage has at its core those ideals exemplified by Jesus Christ. Today the College strives continually to understand and express the relationship between its religious heritage and the liberal arts ideals and values in ways relevant to a rapidly changing world. Westminster embraces the whole church with its many traditions and the human race in its diversity. The College is open to the moral and spiritual character of different religious traditions and resolves to continue its participation in both ecumenical and interfaith endeavors." Covenant Agreement with Synod of the Trinity

Students may develop and grow in their faith through taking advantage of weekly non-denominational worship experiences, volunteer opportunities, fellowship groups, and small groups.
