Ministerial Assistant, Wesley Williams, recently rejoined the FCC Church staff on October 1, 2017 after a tenure in other ministry and work development areas in the Grant county area.  Wesley's passions lie in getting to know the various people that call First Christian their church home and discovering how the Lord has been at work in their lives and helping people in whatever ways he can.  Wesley loves all kinds of church music and working with the children at FCC.  Wesley is a volunteer at the Marion Civic Theatre and has served on the Board of Directors for the last 6 years.  While he does have a love for the stage, his passion is people and supporting those reach to others with their skill and craft.  Wesley's favorite Bible verse is Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."  We never know what the Lord will do with us, but God wants us to be His and follow Him.  Wesley looks forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for every day and working with the people of First Christian Church.
