About Our Church
Our Mission & Vision
Our vision and mission is to help connect people to Christ
For over 30 years Westminster Conway has sought to make the name of Christ Great, not only in our community but also around the world!
Our church was originally built in the 1970’s by the United Methodist Church, but by the early 1980’s the UMC had moved locations and gifted the building to a New Denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America. After joining the PCA the name was changed to Westminster. However, in 1986 Westminster joined the Historic Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, the ARP, and has remained ARP ever since.
In Our History Westminster ARP has had only a handful of pastors.
After our founding in 1986 our first full time minster was Rev. David H. Laughten. Pastor Laughten served from 1991 to 1999.
Our Second Pastor was Rev. Martin (Marty) L. Taylor. Pastor Taylor served from 2000 to 2010.
From 2010 to 2019 we had several supply pastors including Pastor Rev. John R. (Randy) Riddle.
Our third pastor was Rev. Watson M. Gunderson. Pastor Gunderson served from 2019 to 2024.
Our Beliefs & Values
We, the members of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, in order to carry out God’s mission and move forward together into the next century, profess our life together in Christ and our desire to set forth a united strategy for the work of His church. We express our desire to continue to be a Presbyterian and Reformed church committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and to the Bible as the Word of God.
Rooted in and shaped by a living tradition, we are part of the new creation in Christ which God is bringing into existence. Therefore, we are committed to:
We subscribe to the Westminster Confession of Faith
- The worship of the Triune God.
- The Holy Scriptures as the basis for our faith and activity.
- Unity with other believers in Christ.
- Total stewardship of life, including tithing of time, talents, and money.
- Excellence in education and equipping leaders for tomorrow.
- Loving and caring for one another and for other people.
- Spreading the Gospel to all parts of the world.
- Evaluating and changing church structures and priorities in order to meet the challenges of the future while preserving the best of the past.
To this end and in humble reliance upon the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, we covenant together to pray steadfastly that God will open doors of opportunity so that we may declare the riches of Christ.
