Dr. Moore's Baptist story
Dr. Wes Moore has spent nearly 30 years in Baptist ministry. He has served as a teacher, deacon, lead deacon, fill-in preacher, elder, and four-time pastor. He seen great fruit in his ministry, organizing conferences, leading outreach efforts, and building ministries for the poor.
