Family & Fellowship

The Family and Fellowship Ministry at Webster Memorial United Church is dedicated to fostering an environment of love, trust, and unity. Through this ministry, members, adherents, and visitors are welcomed into a space where they feel a true sense of belonging, acceptance, significance, and support.
