At Westminster Presbyterian Church, we strive to reach out to our community by participating in several ministries. Through our actions, we can show God's love and direction in many ways.

The Sonshine Center

The Sonshine Center is a non-profit, Christian-based preschool and daycare where emphasis is placed on upholding common beliefs of all denominations of the Christian Church; a place where children can have fun and parents can trust that their children are getting a quality, early childhood education.

Westminster Presbyterian Church sponsored the Center and provided the Task Force to get the Center up and running. Westminster continues to offer support and guidance to the Center through pastoral visits, board membership and other contributions. 

Jessica Hoglund is the Director of the Center. She graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2010 with a degree in elementry education with an emphasis in pre-primary education. Origanially from West Fargo, Jessica moved to Casselton in 2010 with her husband. She has been at the Center since January 2011.

Arnetta Frueh is the Business Administrator at the Center. She has over 25 years of professional office experience. Arnetta and her husband live in Buffalo, N.D. They have three children and one grandchild. Arnetta has been with the Center since June 2010.

Adopt A Highway

Adopt-A-Highway is a program that offers our church the opportunity to show that we care about the environment.

Food wrappers, aluminum cans, newspapers, cigarette packs, and plastic bottles are left behind by many careless people along North Dakota’s roadways. When trash and debris litter our roadways, it doesn’t leave a good impression on motorists traveling through our state.

By volunteering to clear a three-mile section of an interstate highway during the months of April through September, Westminster shows that we care about the environment. Also, we help to minimize roadway maintenance costs and save taxpayer dollars. Keeping our roadways clean is the responsibility of all of us and we are part of the effort to keep North Dakota clean and green.

Westminster’s name is placed on an Adopt-A-Highway sign along the north section of Interstate 94 (westbound lanes) between mile marker 334 and 335.
