Dr Wesley White

Wes is married to Cynthia and they have five children and two grandchildren, all living in Glasgow.  He grew up as a missionary kid in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo where his parents served in medical missions. 

After serving as a pastor in the United States for fifteen years, Wes and his family moved to Glasgow to start the Mosaic Community, a church-plant of Christian Associates International.

He holds a PhD in Theology from the University of Notre Dame (South Bend, Indiana) and a DMin from Denver Seminary.  Wes loves the odd mix of jazz and Gustav Mahler.
