"Hey, everyone, I'm Brent - and I have been pastor here at WCC since 2010 - but I honestly believe these days are some of the best since I have been here.  We're seeing our church grow younger and the enthusiasm ramp up, while at the same time being aided by the wisdom of those older.  We truly are an intergenerational church.

"My wife Kelly and I have been married for over 30 years and love doing life together - especially if there is some way for us to get outdoors.  We do a lot of biking (summertime) and hiking (year-round).  We have three kids that we're tight with.  Allie and her husband live in Pasadena, Lindsay lives in the Chicago area, and Luke lives in Grand Rapids.  I am a huge family guy - and love to visit with my kids any chance I get (especially California in the cold months)!"
