Wesley Youth is a safe environment where we value Bible, Community, and Fun to inspire and equip teens to know Jesus, grow in Jesus, and go in His Name!
"Hello there and welcome to the youth ministry page of Wesley Church! My name is Nathaniel Lacy and I have been serving as the youth pastor here for the past five years. I am a firm believer in God's call to serve Him in whatever capacity I find myself, but I am especially passionate about youth ministry because youth are not just the future of the church, they are the church NOW! It is an immense joy, responsibility, and privilege for me to pour into the upcoming generations while supported by my wonderful wife Elizabeth and Wesley Network/Church family."

Hi! My name is Braden Redcay and I enjoy working as a carpenter, playing guitar, hunting, playing sports, and hamburgers..yum! When I was a student in school, I was very shy and quiet and that has given me a love now for finding and talking to students that might be similar. I love to hear about studentās weeks and have conversations that hopefully leave them feeling included and aware of Godās amazing love for them

Hi, my name is Daniel! Although if you were to ask the youth group kids they would tell you that my name is Yoda and that is what I usually go by on Wednesday nights. I proudly hold the title of āYouth Leader that has been around the longestā with almost 10 years under my belt. You'll most often find me on Wednesday nights generally trying to make the kids feel welcomed. What I love the most about youth group is how it creates a space for the kids to grow and mature in their relationship with God and embrace the gifts that He has given them. Being able to see and encourage that is amazing and it's why I love what I do!

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Lacy. I loved going to youth group when I was in high school and I love helping to create that same wonderful experience now at Wesley as a youth leader! <3 My favorite parts of youth group are talking over dinner with students, competitively playing games, singing on the worship team, leading the Jr. High small group, and of course serving alongside my gifted fiancƩ, Nathaniel. ;) God has given me a passion for loving youth of all ages. When I am not at Wesley, I am at Bethany Christian School working as a Classroom Aide and Summer Camp Director. I am looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday nights and I pray that you and your child will recognize the peaceful presence of God this week! :)
Hi there! My name is Kayla, and I love being a youth leader here at Wesley! Growing up, youth group was always the highlight of my week and it helped shape me into the person I am today. Now, itās the highlight of my week pouring into these youth the way others poured into me! I enjoy many different things like hiking, music, game nights, and eggnog, but my favorite thing in life is building relationships with others. Life is hard, and weāre not meant to walk through it alone. Itās my goal to make sure every person who walks through our doors feels seen and knows that there is a God who loves them unconditionally, and people here they can trust who will encourage them in their unique journeys
