Westminster School at Oak Mountain
Vision: Building Christ’s Kingdom by equipping students with wisdom, virtue, and eloquence.
New Westminster School at Oak Mountain Head of School: Eric DeVries
Eric and his family joined the OMPC and Westminster community this fall after having spent the last 18 years living in Wenatchee, Washington where Eric served as the Head of School at a local classical Christian school. His wife, Jen, primarily managed the home-front, which was more than a full time job with their five children who also attended the Washington school. Jen now serves at OMPC as the church Accounts Payable and Benefits Manager.
The DeVries family is excited to become part of the OMPC and WSOM family and is eager to see all that God will do through these ministries in the years to come.
Once again, Westminster School at Oak Mountain saw God’s abundant hand of blessing out our school in 2022. From inception, Westmisnter has repeatedly been overwhelmed by God’s grace, and 2022 was no exception. As the Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church family, you will be pleased to know that the ministry housed under your roof and functioning in your hallways each day is bearing much fruit with all glory given to God. Thank you for your continued partnership with our school as we seek to raise young men and women who are “equipped for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Ephesians 4:12) in the kingdom of God through their education at our school. Here are a few highlights we think will be encouraging to you as you think about the way Oak Mountain is partnering with us to raise the next generation in the Lord at Westminster:
