Our Staff    

George Ragsdale

Executive Director of Student Ministries

George was born in Roswell, New Mexico and graduated from McMurray University. He has been working in youth ministry for 30 years. We'd say he's a Mexican food connoisseur and can whip up some mean green chili chicken enchiladas. George is a huge fan of the Avengers, Pandora radio and playing jokes on everyone.

 Kale Wetekamm 

Director of Youth Ministry

Kale is from Mandeville, La and loves all things about our home state - LSU, Saints, the food, the family, the music, and the outdoors. He went to LSU and graduated in Natural Resource Ecology and Management. His favorite holiday is Mardi Gras, and he once went surfing in Alaska! He loves to be outside, and is probably out running around the LSU lakes right now!
