    They are not experts but have wisdom to impart.

  • Since our last child left for college, God has been inviting me into a deeper walk with Him, often alongside others. I’ve been married to my husband Jim for 43 years, am the mom of three adult sons, and have followed Christ since my early 20s. Jim and I found WestGate 15 years ago, and leading two small groups together over the years has deeply shaped my faith and self-understanding.

    My background includes a degree in Special Education, many years as an at-home mom, a decade serving as a volunteer Public Safety Commissioner, and 13 years as a project manager in custom home construction before retiring last year.

    I love people and I love God. I enjoy staying active through golf, hiking, walking, gardening, and Pilates, and I also love reading and history. In this season of retirement, my desire is to sense God’s presence both in quiet stillness and in the activities I love. I look forward to hearing your story and sharing more of mine as God leads.

  • I’ve been a Christian for nearly 40 years. I am married to Anne, and we have three adult children, ages 18, 23, and 25. She is a teacher, and I recently retired from public service after serving as an Administrative Services Division Manager with a local public agency. I know what it is like to walk through difficult life challenges and to experience seasons when God feels hidden. I love theology, philosophy, and Scripture, and I am not afraid of doubt or honest questions. In part, this is because my faith has been shaped by long seasons of uncertainty, patience, and waiting. Through those experiences, I have come to trust that we are not abandoned in such places, but often encounter God more deeply within them. That conviction shapes my desire to walk alongside others who are navigating uncertainty, anxiety, or fear, especially in matters of faith.

  • As a lifelong reader, I am a storyteller at heart so it is life giving to me to connect with others by listening deeply to their story with curiosity and wonder. A wife of 42 years, a Christ follower longer, a mom of two and grandma to three, you would find me enjoying my retirement from teaching walking my neighborhood most mornings, reading a good book, hanging with friends and family, thinking/talking/eating good food and simultaneously adding to and checking off my travel/food bucket list.

  • I’ve been a Christ-follower for more than 40 years, as a professional marketing and communications leader in a high tech company, wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I’ve been married for 28 years and have 2 twenty something daughters. My husband, Dave, and I have been grateful members of Westgate's worship team for almost our entire married life. I love to hang out with friends, drinking coffee and talking about all the amazing tapestry of life that God has created and our place in it.

  • I’m originally from SoCal and grew up in a Christian home. After college, I moved to the bay to work as an exercise physiologist in health tech. I now work as a PA in pediatric cardiology. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, running or biking, and I am always willing to grab a cup of coffee or ice cream.

  • I have been attending Westgate since 2003 and in that time I have met some amazing people who have helped me grow in my daily walk with Jesus. Through mentoring, I hope to encourage others in this same way. I've been married 48 years and I am currently a proud  "Mimi" to my two young grandsons, ages 11 and 8. In my spare time I enjoy gardening, walking/hiking, and hanging out with family and friends.

  • I am a wife, a mom of two 20-something adult children and a Christ-follower for over 30 years. My journey has taken me from a job in the high tech world, to being a stay-at-home-mom, and then into PR at a Christian school. Things I love include hanging out with family and friends, exercise (just learning to play pickleball), volunteering, reading, and eating good food!  Getting to know new people and chatting over a good cup of tea brings me joy.
