Spiritual Life

Here at Westminster Canterbury of Lynchburg we maintain our historic ties to the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, yet we recognize and celebrate the unique experiences and expressions of spirituality for each person – the diverse thoughts, beliefs, and practices that develop our connectedness beyond self. We seek to be a community where everyone can live authentically and wholeheartedly, seeking to develop perspective, purpose, and meaning in each individual’s life as well as our communal life.
