Youth Ministry Wesley was born and raised in Washington, but is a Texan at heart. He is a graduate of Highline Community College and Seattle Massage School, and has worked at Unified Grocers in Seattle for 16 years. Wesley and his wife Billie have both been involved in youth ministry for over 18 years, and have loved every moment of it. They are proud parents of two energized boys Justin (10) and Nolan (8). Something a bit different about Wes is his nickname, “Weezer”. In fact all his family and friends don’t even call him by my name. Wes believes that there is nothing any youth will come up against, that the power of Christ in their life can’t bring healing and restoration to.
