Wayne and and his wife Wendy met while attending engineering classes at Purdue University in West Lafayette in the early '80s. Little did they know that almost 40 years later they would be living in Southern Indiana after serving churches in Indiana, Texas, California and most recently Tennessee.  God has blessed their lives in so many ways!  They have two wonderful children, Sarah & Nick. Wendy was blessed to be able to home school their children..  Sarah & Nick have graduated college and have started their careers.

Wayne graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS) with his Masters of Divinity and later earned his Doctorate of Ministry.  Mission projects have always been a passion for this family and they have helped several churches get started and have even been the sponsoring church for several church starts / re-starts.  God has truly blessed the many ministries the Wester's have been a part of with many "God victories"!

​Through a series of events, God made it evident that they were being called to be Church Planters in the summer of 2015.  First Southern Baptist Church in Evansville, Indiana, where Wayne grew up and where his childhood friend in now pastoring, was the sponsoring church for this church plant in Princeton, Indiana.  It was exciting for the Westers to be lead church planters at this point in their lives with the mission to share the love of Christ in Princeton, Indiana.
