Westminster Presbyterian Church 📍

Westminster is a congregation deeply committed to building a community whose purpose is to serve Jesus Christ in the city. We see our location as a unique gift. We are situated a block away from the state capitol of New York.

We are located in a diverse and vibrant urban neighborhood. At a time of polarization in government, media and religion, and when public discourse is increasingly shrill and uncivil, Westminster attempts to be a wide tent under which diverse ideas are not only tolerated, but welcome.

Save the Pine Bush has their monthly dinner at the rented-out hall below the church. It is accessed by going to 85 Chesnut Street. There is off-street parking next to the church for church functions and the dinner.

Why were planning board members escorted by armed police?

Honestly, I think they're a bunch of cowards and revenue hungry crackheads trying to get more tax revenue by developing the Pine Bush so they can create more patronage jobs for their high school drop out in laws. But what do I know. I think we were pretty civil - we have the right to protest and chant and hold up signs, elected officials shouldn't hide from the public.
