Wesley loves serving the churches and the community. He has served as a Surrogate Parent with Cleveland County Schools, a Chaplain with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office and Shanghai Volunteer Fire Department, along with several other community boards and service groups and is currently serving as the NC Highway Patrol Chaplain for District F-3, Caldwell and Watauga counties. .

“The church is God’s plan A to reveal himself to the world! We’re better together.” - Wesley Smith
