Get Involved
We at Webster Groves Presbyterian Church understand that the involvement of our church and community help make us stronger and allows us to impact our surrounding areas, and even the world. We encourage each and every one of you to get involved with the church, as we have something for everyone.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
2020 Giving Tree
As the holidays approach, many of us are thinking about ways that we might be able to help those around us. One way to do this is to participate in this year’s Giving Tree to support the clients served by some of our partner agencies. This year we are supporting eight agencies, and you have the option of shopping for a particular item or making a cash donation. Take a look at our Giving Tree list to see all of the needs, or click here to sign up to help with a particular need.
