Westminster Presbyterian Church

What Westminster Presbyterian Church does

Westminster Presbyterian Church is a Christ-centered, Bible-based congregation founded in 1959 and headquartered at 309 Fernwood Drive in Spartanburg, South Carolina, operating as a 27-employee nonprofit religious organization. The church serves its local community through three Sunday worship services (8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 AM), with the latter two broadcast live via Boxcast and supplemented by YouTube sermon archives, Facebook Live, and Apple/Spotify podcasts. Its ministry portfolio spans congregational care (His Hands, GriefShare, DivorceCare), discipleship (children, student, women, men, adult programs, small groups), a Westminster Day School, and an extensive local and international missions program covering Spartanburg-area partners (Habitat for Humanity, Mobile Meals, St. Luke's Free Medical Clinic, TOTAL Ministries) and global outreach (Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Taiwan, Zimbabwe, Egypt, South Asia). The church's underlying technology is conventional and operational rather than proprietary: a Squarespace-hosted website, Boxcast for streaming, and the Realm (ACS Technologies) platform for member management and online giving. Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, captured via one-time or scheduled recurring electronic contributions through the Realm Connect platform, with no fees charged for worship services or ministry programs; ancillary costs apply only to select program materials such as DivorceCare workbooks. The church is led by pastoral staff including Rev. Dale Rawlings (Associate Minister for Outreach and Community Care) and a Church Administrator, with no disclosed parent organization, investor base, or subsidiary structure.
