Who We Support

Westview Presbyterian Church supports many local, regional, national and international organizations each year.  Westview’s Outreach Ministry Area organizes volunteers and directs financial support to address homelessness, hunger, poverty, oppression, natural disasters, and spiritual growth.

The Outreach Ministry Area provided financial support to the organizations below in 2020.

If you have an organization you would like us to support, please call the church office with your request. It will be passed on to the Outreach committee.

We Support:

  • Changing Lens, Changing Lives

  • HOPE

  • Recovery Cafe

  • One Great Hour of Sharing

  • Safe Shelter

Westview’s outreach to the wider world is done through efforts by our individual church community and our local (Plains and Peaks) presbytery as well as through several nationwide efforts of the Presbyterian Church, USA.

Members have participated in helping repair homes after disasters such as: Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Hurricane in Galveston, the Joplin Tornado in Missouri, and tornadoes in Oklahoma, as well as clean-up locally after the Colorado Flood in 2013. These trips were organized by Westview members and arranged through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program. In the past, trips to help with church building and repairs in needy communities in Colorado and South Dakota have involved a number of Westview participants.

Donations collected during annual campaigns support such projects as ministries for children at risk in communities around the world as well as providing major funding for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

From time to time, members also initiate other efforts at the local level, depending on their passions and concerns. An Outreach committee, made up of Westview volunteers, works with individuals to help them fulfill God’s specific calling in their lives.
