Our story begins when a small group of devoted men and women formed a Sunday School group in 1832. Three years later, in 1835, those people became the first registered members of Upper Bull Creek Presbyterian Church, which was later renamed Westminster.

The first church building was erected in 1838 by Matthew & Robert Riddle out of logs. It was divided into four parts and featured seats that were made from spilt logs, or slabs supported by rustic legs. Despite being wooden, these seats were made as comfortable and neat as possible. This log structure served our congregation for fourteen years, before it was replaced with a substantial and more comfortable red brick building in 1852. At the same time, the Church’s name was changed to Westminster after the presbytery approved the congregation’s request on April 12th, 1852. Sadly, the original red brick building was destroyed in a windstorm in March 1911; however, it had served our congregation well for 58 years.

The congregation chose to rebuild, and the new brick building was completed and dedicated in 1912. Generous offerings and pledges at the service covered the building debt and all payments were completed in less than 2 years after the dedication.

On May 20th, 1923, the congregation authorized trustees to purchase land from the Love estate to form the Westminster Cemetery Association of Clinton Township.

The most recent addition to Westminster Church is the Fellowship Hall.
