Pastor Dennis Keen has been our pastor for 25 years. When he entered the ministry the pastor says, "... I asked God to either put me in full-time evangelism or place me with a church family where we could grow up together. God honored that request more than I could have ever imagined."

Pastor Dennis and his wife Sheila were married in 1973. They are blessed with three children and two grandchildren. It's a good thing they all look like "Miss Sheila" by the way. He is a graduate of the University of Houston and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

When the pastor is the most happy you'll find him preaching or somewhere with his grandkids. When he is stressed out you'll find him on a certain church member's motorcycle going as fast as the law will allow. When he is lucky you'll find him at a local "honey spot" fishing for bass. When he is in trouble with "Miss Shelia" you'll find him working on their old country house. And when you can't find him ... if he is dead and gone, you'll find him with Jesus.

Jeff joined our staff in March of 2009. He has been serving as a youth minister for the past 13 years and enjoys every moment of it.  He loves to see students come into a personal and active life with Christ.

Coming from Oklahoma, Jeff has suffered lots of Okie jokes but has made it through.    He enjoys disco dancing, swing dancing, and polka dancing, oh wait,  he can't dance! Jeff has been married to his loving wife Lori for 12 1/2 years and they have one son, Nathan.  He enjoys hunting, fishing, and fiddlin' around.  Yes, Jeff is a fiddler and is determined to put the cool back into bluegrass!

Our newest addition to West End is our Children’s Minister, Ben Sims. Ben is a native born Texan, a son, a student, an artist, but most importantly a child of God. His passion is to see the lost come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and help to cultivate that relationship into an abundant life in Christ!

In his spare time, Ben usually has some instrument in his grasp.
