On the south side of our church is the bustling modern city of White Plains. To the north is our historic cemetery with the oldest of the graves going back to 1709. And in between the cemetery and the city is a beautiful stone building where Presbyterians worship today. Built on the land that was donated in 1714, and where two previous Presbyterian houses of worship once stood, it reflects over three hundred and ten years of warm welcome to all who enter its doors and their faithful devotion to God.

There are many ways of serving the Lord, and we at the WPPC are blessed with devoted people
who commit in different ways to serving God through serving the church.
The leadership of all Presbyterian Churches (PCUSA) is divided between the Clergy person/s
and lay (ie non clergy) members with both having vital roles in the administration of the church committees.
The Session is the body of lay members elected by the congregation that is ultimately
responsible for the administration of the church, together with the minister.
There are also various committees made up of members of the church, that oversee different
aspects of life in the church.
In the WPPC these committees are:
