OUR PASTOR

Pastor Paul Glendenning and his wife, Bobbie, are PK's (Preacher's Kids) and thus have been involved in "church work" since childhood. Each was intimately involved in music as youth and sang in college choirs and small choirs. Married in 1969, they taught school for two years, then as Song Evangelists, ministered in thirty-eight states, singing for revivals, camp meetings and concerts for the next eight years. The couple have two married married sons, who are also in ministry and two teenagers, Larry and Rose, who are still at home. Rev. Glendenning has been a pastor for over 20 years, the last three of which have been at Westview.

Our Demographics--Many of our members are seasoned adults whose children are now raising families of their own. They have been the foundation stock of this congregation--retired farmers, teachers, administrators, business men and women, factory workers and homemakers--and are still a vital part of the ongoing ministry of the church. A smaller proportion of our constituency provides a cross-section from singles to middle-aged families. Every generation has its distinctive place: the wisdom of our elders, the energy of our juniors and the excitement of our teens and children. 

Our Aspiration--We endeavor to tap the strengths of each individual to give them an opportunity to serve the Lord in a community of believers and enjoy the fulfillment that comes from doing so. You will find the Westview family to be warm and genuine in their faith toward God and in their interaction with long-time friends as well as with those who come to worship for the very first time. Our desire is to be a place of safety and compassion.
