2022-23 Valedictorian & Salutatorian

since preschool, and some had only arrived in time for their senior year, but all had a place of belonging and significance with each other. On a beautiful May weekend they gathered together with their families and friends to worship together one last time as they celebrated baccalaureate and commencement.

Commencement signifies not the end of something, but the beginning. The class of 2023’s time at Westminster is at an end, but now they set out to discover what the Lord is calling them to do. They are going on to study subjects like biology, cyber security, philosophy, digital animation, theater, and so much more. They will be as close to Westminster as right up the street and as far away as New York, and eventually they will land wherever it is that God calls them. We know they will be taking the lessons they learned – in the classrooms, on the fields, on the stage, and all the places in between – out into the world to share God’s Word and be His light on their college campuses and beyond.
