Ministries

Benevolence Ministry: Webster Church serves those in the community who are experiencing financial hardship by participating in Grace Place, which provides meals on Tuesdays. We also collect food and money for FISH to help those who need food or fuel bills paid.

Child Care: There is a nursery for children two years of age or younger that is provided for those parents who wish to place their children in a supervised care setting and participate more fully in the Sunday service.

Christian Education Program: The Christian Education program at Webster Church is open to, loving, and accepting of all God's children The volunteers who run the program are loving individuals who emulate our savior, Jesus Christ. The education program is Biblically based and designed to invite the children to develop a faithful relationship with God and his beloved son. Jesus said, "...let the children come to me," (Matthew 19:14). At Webster Church the children are accepted and guided as individuals who are created in God's image. Upon entering a Sunday school classroom, one is often impressed by the guiding presence of Jesus Christ, as children enthusiastically study, work, and play in a joyous and relaxed atmosphere. Through stories, crafts, choral singing, the children's sermon and special events, the children learn the meaning of true discipleship and how to live and act as dedicated Christians. As our children develop, they are invited to participate in youth activities and our acolyte program.
