Pastor Tom Westcott
 Pastor Tom is married to his wonderful wife Emily. They have two children, Olive and Rowan, and share their home with their "fur child" Summit.
Pastor Tom finds great joy in exploring what God is up to outside of the church walls and in our everyday lives. "Faith should not be kept within the confines of Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings. Faith should permeate everything we say and do. Faith should be a way of life," he notes.
Some of his hobbies include home brewing, following local sports, ice fishing, and experimenting with all things BBQ.
