Our Minister
At Westminster Presbyterian Church, we believe "every disciple of the church" is called to ministry. So at the top of our letterhead you will find these words:

Office Manager, Sandra Buntin
Sandra has been the church office manager for over ten years. She is truly the "glue" that holds our operation together, and if you need anything from the church staff, she is the best place to start. Sandra loves traveling when she is not working, here in Argentina enjoying a great vacation.
Director of Music, Woody Johnson
Woody is our "maestro" of all things musical at Westminster. He and wife Joyce are the dynamic leaders of our adult choir and our bell choir. Woody arranges special music throughout the year adding to our worship of God. Woody and Joyce are retired teachers from the Manatee School system, who enjoy golf, tennis, and kayaking. If you love music, contact Woody if you can catch him...
Bookkeeper, Elise Allen

The Reverend Peter MacFarlane is a retired Presbyterian Minister of the Word and Sacrament who serves as our Minister of Visitation. Peter brings words of encouragement and prayers to those in the hospital or homebound. Peter and wife Carol have been an important part of Westminster church for over a dozen years. Occasionally you might even see him in his "kilt."
