Imagining Our Vision

What does it mean when we say that we are at WSBC to follow the teachings of Jesus? How does that transform into a shared vision? What will we do to live out these aspirations?

WSBC has a history of strong congregational roots and committed work for social justice. Vibrant relationships nourish a church environment that challenges our spirits to grow. We invite you to join us in conversations to dream about how to build on our rich history. To discern a vision for the next several years, three planning groups are focusing on broad areas important to the foundation of WSBC: nurturing ourselves, exploring relationships with our neighbors, and caring for our church building.

Follow the work of the planning groups, and make plans to participate in the conversations.

Sincerely,
The Coordinating Committee for the Planning Process
Jim Drennan, Chair
Laura Webb Smith
Maggie Ellis Chotas
Greg Palmer, Chair of Church Council
