The Rev. Wes Williams

Wes was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. He attended Florida State University, and came to faith through the school’s Intervarsity ministry in 2007.

He started his studies at Trinity School for Ministry in 2011, graduating with his Master’s of Divinity in 2015.

After graduation, Wes served for a year as a missionary with Church Army USA at their ministry in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania called Uncommon Grounds Cafe. He then moved into Pittsburgh to discern next steps in ministry while attending Church of the Ascension.

Wes steadily became more involved as a ministry volunteer and formally began the discernment process with Church of the Ascension in the summer of 2021. He was ordained as a deacon in June of 2023, and a priest in June of 2024.

Wes met his wife, Meg while attending the Ascension. They  joined the same community group in 2019, and began dating in 2021. They were married at Ascension in August of 2023.

As a Curate, his ministry at Church of the Ascension includes working with the Music, Worship Arts, Youth, and Special Needs ministries.
