Shepherd's Vineyard

                                                    I am Minister Tracia Westley aka 1^st Lady and one of three directors and founders of Shepherd's

                                                    Vineyard Christian Church.  One of my greatest tasks was assisting my husband, Pastor Tim Westley in

                                                    planting this ministry in March 2006 under God's direction and grace.  We have been married for 18+

                                                    years & have 3 children (Tralunda, Timontre, & Traeven), one grandson (Coleman) and an additional

                                                    grandchild scheduled to arrive in June 2014.

 

                                                    Before coming into the fold of ministry work, I worked in the Northeast Independent School District (San

                                                    Antonio, TX) for 14+ years as an office Assistant, Administrative Support, and a Data Processor. 

                                                    Nevertheless, as God would have it, I left this position in 2009 in order to pursue my educational goals. 

                                                    I have almost completed that task as I am approximately 3 classes away from completing my B.S. in
                                                    Human Services from Wayland Baptist University.  I fully anticipate having this leg of my life journey 

                                                    completed in 2014.

 

                                                    Nevertheless, as God has allowed me to work in this ministry, I have been blessed enough to facilitate

                                                    both children’s Sunday School classes as well as oversee the Women’s Group within the church (Ladies

                                                    of The Vineyard Encouraged (L.O.V.E.).  Further, God has allowed me to be an ear for many and a voice

                                                    for more, as He’s used me in multiple realms of counseling.  As of this month (November 2013), God has

                                                    allowed me to be Licensed as a Minister of the Gospel, whereby I will continue to fulfil my calling as an

                                                    ear for many and a voice for more.  Nonetheless, my greatest job and joy is working as a pillar of

  support for my husband and Pastor of S.V.C.C.  My favorite pastimes are:

 

• Spending time with my family

• Shopping

• Watching Lifetime Network

 

  I have grown to love the Christian lifestyle and have learned over time of the abundance of excitement one can have serving Christ!
