About Wes

One life. Many chapters.

Pastor. Author. Musician. Car Enthusiast.

Four chapters of one story — still being written.

Introduction

THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER CHAPTER.

Wes grew up the fourth child of a Navy man turned TV-repair shop owner turned preacher — moving from Florida's panhandle to Atlanta before faith, music, and family shaped the rest of his story.

Today he pastors a small church in rural Kentucky, writes about the doubts and detours of faith, sings in a voice trained for the concert stage, and still chases quarter-mile times in a car he rebuilt with his own hands.

ABOUT

THE MAN BEHIND THE STORY.

1993

Beginnings

Born the fourth child of Fred and Hattie Brockway, Wes grew up between Alabama and Florida's panhandle as his father moved from television repair into the ministry. He graduated from Choctawhatchee High School and headed to Atlanta for DeVry's Electronic Technology program.

1976

FAMILY

Wes met Susan Elizabeth Evans while singing with Sonlight, the college ensemble at First Baptist Church of Atlanta. They married on January 10, 1976, and now have two children, Glynn and Jessica, and six grandchildren, with the whole family in the Louisville, KY area.

1984

THE CALL

While serving as part-time Minister of Music at Central Baptist Church in Douglasville, GA, Wes felt God call him into full-time ministry. He pursued theological and music training at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College, then The University of the Cumberlands and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

BUILDING

As Pastor of Davis Memorial — later renamed Lakeside Baptist Church — Wes led the congregation in building a 28,000 sq ft complex on 17 acres in Jeffersontown, KY, including Lakeside Academy, a child care center that grew to 120 children and 25 employees.

CAMPELLSBURG

After a season of semi-retirement, Wes was asked to preach a single Sunday at Campbellsburg Baptist Church. One Sunday became a month, then a call as Transitional Pastor, then — in January 2022 — permanent Pastor. He also builds his own computers, wired the church for broadcast, and has built decks, cabinets, and a storage shed with his own two hands.
