This Sunday, Westminster hosts a special combined worship service with the FOCUS Churches Communities of Faith, featuring a joint choir directed by Christopher Price. We gather to renew the FOCUS Covenant, acknowledging our common calling to work together more effectively than we can separately.
The Beatitudes provide the blueprint for belonging to this counter-cultural community. Jesus reverses the world's definition of happiness and power, proclaiming blessing for those who hunger for justice. Our mission is to demonstrate the liberating and reconciling power of the Gospel through shared ministry.
Which of the Beatitudes challenges your assumptions about power or success most deeply?
