Westmont Student Ministries (WSM)
About WSM
Westmont Student Ministries (WSM) is a student run organization that helps connect students with opportunities for on and off campus ministries in order to serve the Westmont and local communities. The WSM mission is to see Westmont foster ”Change agents committed to serving the Lord through building community.” Students who have a passion for ministry and service can find an outlet for their gifts through WSM. WSM provides an opportunity for students to start new ministries and continue existing ones. WSM is committed to prayerfully identifying and seeking to meet the needs of the campus.
This year, the vision of WSM is to increase support for ministries and to provide a better way for strong existing ministries to continue from year to year.
