Senior Pastor:    Greg Wright

Pastor Greg Wright grew up in West Virginia and came to know the Lord at the age of twelve. Having Godly parents, he was encouraged to seek and do the Lord’s will for his life. In 1987 he graduated from Bob Jones University with a Bachelors degree in Bible and went on to complete his Masters degree in Pastoral Studies in 1989. He then worked at Morningside Baptist Church in Greenville, SC as the assistant pastor until 1993. While there, Pastor Wright also helped develop a new missions board called Open Door Baptist Missions. Having been led by the Lord, he and his family moved to St. George in the Fall of 1993 to start Westside Baptist Church.

Associate Pastor:    Jeremy Hargis

When God called Pastor Jeremy to St. George, He called him back to the West. Originally from Colorado, he left the West for Bible college. While at Northland Baptist Bible College he studied Youth Ministries and graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Following graduation he became a staff member at Northland Camp in Wisconsin for 5 years. From there he joined the faculty of Pillsbury Baptist Bible College as the Dean of Men. While at Pillsbury he also worked toward a master's degree in Biblical Studies from Central Baptist Theological Seminary, which he completed in 2006. Having a love for the local church and a desire to minister on a more long-term level, he and his family moved to St. George in the Summer of 2006 to begin serving the Lord at Westside. As our Associate Pastor, Pastor Jeremy is a "right hand man" to Pastor Greg. His enthusiasm for fun and love for the Lord spill over into his church ministries, and those under his teaching and leadership cannot help but enjoy furthering their spiritual walk.

Her great organizational skills have allowed her to efficiently balance each school day. She teaches in one day what is equivalent to most teachers covering in one week.

Mrs. Williams' teaching career began in 1985 after she finished her bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. She returned to Page and taught for 12 years in Kindergarten and First Grade.
