Our Mission Statement:

Our Vision
To be a biblically authentic community of faith expressing itself through love
Our History:
A daughter church of Stony Point Presbyterian Church on Southside, WEPC began in October of 1993, meeting in the chorus room of Byrd Middle School. Since then, WEPC has grown to a body of 600+ worshippers on Sunday mornings.
While we are a fairly young church, WEPC wholeheartedly embraces the historic Christian faith expressed in all the ecumenical creeds of the universal church (e.g. the Apostles and Nicene Creeds).
We are also committed to the historic Presbyterian form of the Christian tradition, by its subscription to the Westminster Confession of Faith. WEPC is a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America, a denomination which is national in scope.
