Loving God, Loving One Another

Pastor Wendy’s Greeting

I have pastored Southminster Presbyterian Church for more than 10 years. We are a gathering of loving and engaging Christians.

Each week we join together to worship our Lord Jesus Christ, and each week we go out into the world to share the blessings we have received from God. God makes a difference in our lives; God’s goodness needs to be shared not only at home and at work, but here in DuPage County and in the larger world. We minister both locally and globally.

We are a church family with a variety of people: young and old, single and married, well off and less comfortable.

We are Presbyterian. That means that laypeople and lay involvement are very important. I am not the center of the church. Christ is the center and calls all of us to serve and to gracious relationships.

We are inclusive. That means women and men hold offices on all our governing boards: Session and Deacons. Being Presbyterian also means that scripture is important. The Presbyterian Church came out of the Protestant Reformation. We say we are “Reformed and always reforming, according to the Word of God.” We engage both our minds and our hearts. We grow and change together, listening to each other and caring for each other.With the pastor, the Deacons are the shepherds of Southminster, tending to the physical and spiritual cares of the congregation.

Come visit us! If you want to come during the week to see Southminster or visit, I’m available Tuesday through Friday. You are of course welcome any Sunday. Take a look at our calendar to discover if there is anything you want to see or do.

Take it from here, Love Wendy.

Leadership/Our Church Officers

Any member of our church may serve as an Officer. Individuals are recommended by the congregation, nominated by the Nominating Ministry and elected by the congregation at our annual meeting.

Our Presbyterian Session

Southminster is governed by Elders elected by the congregation, which collectively make up the Session. Together with the pastor, the Session is responsible for the government, discipline, and life of our church.

Our Board of Deacons

With the pastor, the Deacons are the shepherds of Southminster, tending to the physical and spiritual cares of the congregation. On Sunday mornings, Deacons greet members, friends, and visitors as we enter the church and provide fellowship following worship.

Our Missions

Become a Member

There are four disciplines central to the practice of the Christian life at Southminster. We are continually reminded of them by the presence of the stained glass windows at the back of our sanctuary. They are Worship, Study, Service and Prayer. Take a moment to look at these windows and reflect on how these disciplines can deepen your own relationship with God.
