Meet my guest, Wesley....
Wesley Schwartz serves as the Children’s Pastor at OCC, where he was born and raised. After marrying his wife, Heather, in 2012, the two began volunteering together in Awana, the midweek children’s program, which sparked Wesley’s passion for working with kids. In 2020, he joined the OCC staff as Children’s Pastor, bringing that same enthusiasm to the role. Wesley and the children’s ministry team are dedicated to supporting families as they guide kids in their faith journey. He’s excited to share insights and resources with you at the November conversation—don’t miss it!
