CHURCH LEADERSHIP

Called to Serve with Humble Hearts

Meet the servant leaders who care for the spiritual vitality, ministry oversight, and community service of Westmorland Community Presbyterian Church.

Presbyterian Shared Leadership

In our Presbyterian tradition, ministry is shared among pastors and elders elected from within the congregation. Together, the Session seeks the discernment of the Holy Spirit to guide the spiritual life, financial stewardship, and outreach missions of the church.

A Message from our Pastor

Pastor Juliana Lesher, M.Div., Ph.D.

I am truly delighted to serve as the pastor of the Westmorland Community Presbyterian Church. Since 1997, I have ministered and lived in nine different states, including serving as the National Director of Chaplain Service for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

My Master of Divinity is from Evangelical Theological Seminary, and my Ph.D. in Ecclesial Organizational Leadership is from Regent University. I am passionate about sharing Christ, and enjoy swimming, singing, walking in the sunshine, and playing piano.

I can be reached by emailing julianapray@gmail.com or by calling (210) 519-9055. If I have not met you, I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our church family!
