Staff Highlight

Each week we want to highlight our pastoral staff and the good work they are doing. This week is our worship pastor, Wendell Versailles.

Most of us have no idea how hard it was to move our worship location to a more intimate setting upstairs at Grace and also to broadcast it on Facebook Live. Wendell has worked tirelessly to iron out wrinkles in the audio system and to improve our broadcast each week so that we can enjoy worship from home.

Wendell has also been coached & mentored weekly by a local worship pastor from World Victory Church. This seasoned pastor has been coaching Wendell in how to lead on Sundays, how to develop a team… as well as, vocal training.

Lastly, Wendell and Marshall have been studying the book of Ephesians together. They are doing a manuscript Bible study method that helps us see the amazing news of our identity in Christ through the gospel.

Oh, and did you know that Wendell also plays the drums, guitar and keyboard? If you have heard a fuller sound during the worship sets, the extra instruments that you don’t see were played by Wendell and added into the service. Praise God for Pastor Wendell!!
