Westminster Presbyterian Church receives virtually all of its financial support through donations.

The majority of funds donated are pledged monies that go into the general operating fund which are disbursed according to the will of the congregation as expressed through the session (elected governing body of Westminster).

In some instances, an individual will indicate that donated funds should be used for a specific purpose within the church. The session has approved the following funds and organizations which may be designated by an individual in his or her donation:
