Westminster Presbyterian Church (Sarver)
Church Directory
I am Pastor Rob Swinsburg and I have been pastor at Westminster since October of 2017. I am a graduate of Northeastern Bible College and Princeton Theological Seminary. I have been in the ministry for about 40 years having served 3 previous congregations. My wife, Joan, and I have raised three children and have 4 grandchildren.
We believe in the Trinity; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit who had no beginning and have no end.
We believe God has revealed His Word and will for us in the Old and new Testaments.
We believe that “sin” separates us from God. Sin is willful disobedience and failure to live as God’s people. The penalty for sin is separation from God for all eternity. The only answer to this problem is faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
We believe that when Jesus came to earth, He was fully God and fully human. He lived a perfectly obedient life to God. His sacrificial, substitutionary atonement made it possible for humans to re-connected to God. Following His death, Jesus rose bodily from the grave, ascended to Heaven and sent the promised Holy Spirit.
We believe the Holy Spirit quickens our dead spirits. He makes us alive spiritually. He convicts of sin, gives spiritual gifts, comforts, and prays for us.
We believe God has given us two sacraments. A sacrament is “an outward sign of an inward reality.” In Baptism we are reminded of our new birth which is a sign of our justification. In Communion, we are constantly reminded of the great cost of our salvation. In Communion we are spiritually nourished by the presence of Christ.
We believe that Christ is coming again to close human history as we know it and bring us into His heavenly kingdom. Heaven is the place God has prepared for those who have put their faith and trust in Him. Those who have rejected the saving work of Christ in their lives will live eternally outside the presence of God. A place that God’s word describes as Hell.
We believe we are called to be witnesses for the message of the gospel. We are to live obediently to God, sharing the light of God’s truth, love, justice and peace with all people.

Service Times
Our Sunday morning worship, which blends traditional and contemporary elements, starts at 11:00 am. For parents of small children, we have a nursery room with a live feed of the service, or we offer a “Children’s Church” for the younger members of our congregation to participate in after the “Children’s Message” if their parents would wish to remain in the sanctuary during worship.
Additionally on Sunday mornings we have an Adult Sunday School Class with teacher Kent Thrower that meets at 10 am. Thursdays at 1:00 pm, there’s a Bible Study with Pastor Rob.
