A WORD FROM OUR LEADERSHIP

“The next Director of Advancement will have the opportunity to share discipleship stories and to

support and enhance the impactful work of a biblical education that receives children from the

early age of 3 through age 18 so that they might engage and be equipped to live faithful and

extraordinary lives for Jesus Christ. The discipleship of students and their hearts for Jesus is the greatest advancement work, not of Westminster, but God’s kingdom!”

• Dr. Shawn Brower, Head of School
