Our Staff
Pastor
Rev. Ken Wallace
I became the pastor of Westover Baptist Church on March 1, 2007. I am an ordained American Baptist minister who has served churches in central Iowa since 1983. I have also worked as a social worker, youth pastor and senior services director. My wife, Becky and I are the parents of four grown children and two grandchildren.
Minister of Children & Youth
Rev. Emily Beltrame
As the Minister of Children & Youth, I get the priviledge of leading Westover’s next generation of Christian leaders! It is exciting to see young people come to faith in Christ and begin the adventure of following Jesus and making a difference for others.
Westover has been my church home since I was a college student at Drake. From Brian’s and my wedding day, through my call to ministry, seminary journey, and ordination, to the first faith commitments of our older daughters, Corinne & Gwyneth, and the upcoming dedication of our baby, Estelle, our family is living fruit of the ministry of Westover Baptist Church. Many things have and will change as time goes by, but Westover continues to be a welcoming sanctuary of Christan love and grace.
