FACT: There is no state or county in the US where a renter working full-time at minimum wage can afford a two-bedroom apartment. Skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced this startling phenomenon. Brian Goldstone’s gripping book follows the lives of five families struggling to remain housed in Atlanta. Join Chris on Sunday morning to discuss the book, our country's affordable housing crisis, and how people of faith are called to respond and help.

Hey, we know that smile! 😊 Congratulations to WPC's own Nancye Bryan for an amazing 30+ years of advocating for our neighbors who need help with housing👏👏👏 She's been a blessing to so many in our community 🤗 Thank you, Nancye, for all you do 💙

Not every CASA home makes the headlines. But each one changes lives.
Bryan Place in Durham brought 16 permanent one-bedroom apartments to people who have experienced homelessness or live with a disability. 50% of those apartments are home to a US Veteran.

Named in honor of Nancye Bryan — longtime CASA Board Member and affordable housing advocate — Bryan Place is a testament to what's possible when community invests in its neighbors. We are continually grateful to Nancye for more than 3 decades of caring for our community.

It's a special kind of joy to host an ordination service for one of our own 🥰🥰 so we couldn't be more thrilled for the Rev. Rebecca Mattern, WPC's former Director of Youth Ministries, who was ordained as a Minister of the Word and Sacrament at Westminster on Sunday, May 31. She will serve as the solo pastor of Jonesborough Presbyterian Church in Tennessee. Congratulations and many blessings to our dear Rev. Rebecca, as she serves God, neighbor, and the saints of Jonesborough PC 🙏🫶🙏🫶

We are thrilled to welcome former WPC youth director Rebecca Mattern back to Westminster for her ordination as a Minister of the Word & Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA). She has accepted a call to be the pastor of Jonesborough Presbyterian Church, founded in 1790 and located in Tennessee's oldest town. Rebecca writes, "I am excited to live into God's call to be the solo pastor, and grateful beyond words for the many years and people at Westminster that have acknowledged, shaped, and supported me, and my journey to ordained ministry." All are invited to her ordination on Sunday afternoon -- be sure to stick around afterward to hug her neck and wish her well at the reception in her honor 🙏🫶💙
