Old and New Testament Classes
Now Registering for 2022-2023
Two Tracks: In-Person or On-Demand/Virtual
In each class, you will read the respective Testament, learning the basic content of the book and exploring the text in detail. Together with the class, you'll reflect on how those texts and the Bible as a whole impact our faith and life and what it means to view the Bible historically, as literature, and as sacred scripture.
This year, the classes will be taught in two “tracks.” To participate in-person, Rev. Larry Hayward will lead the class and discussions in the Haverkamp Room. To participate virtually, recordings of Larry’s lectures will be made available to you to watch or listen on your time, and Rev. Rebekah Motley, Director of Adult Formation, will lead weekly discussions over Zoom.
Rebekah Givens' Journey to Chaplaincy
Westminster member Rebekah Givens is answering a call to Christian ministry in chaplaincy, beginning studies at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria Fall 2021. At its February 24 meeting, the WPC Session recommended her for "inquirer" status to National Capital Presbytery, thus supporting her journey in an official way, and named Frank Purcell to serve as liaison to Givens.

Join the Adult Formation Team!
It takes a vital community to plan our Adult Formation classes and programs. The Adult Formation team explores many options and together we choose topics, formats, and programs that challenge us to question and explore our faith and to grow in the love of Christ. Many hands are required to continue our high quality adult education. I invite you to join us in planning and brainstorming! Contact Jacob Bolton to see how you might be able to help.
Reformed Institute Programs
The Reformed Institute was created in 2003 to address a growing need among Presbyterian churches in the Washington DC area to celebrate, support and enhance understanding of the Reformed (Presbyterian) heritage. As a member church, Westminster and our members often participate in Reformed Institute programs and events.
