Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of Wenatchee where we exist to glorify God in all that we do!  It is my great joy and privilege to serve this evangelical community of believers as Pastor, Head of Staff. 

My family and I hail from Washington State.  I grew up on the Olympic Peninsula and graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a Bachelor’s degree in vocal music and a Master’s in Arts of Teaching.  After teaching in Puyallup and Gig Harbor for six years, God called us to the ministry and prepared us for it through a Master of Divinity degree at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois.  After serving as an Associate Pastor at Champion Presbyterian Church in Warren, Ohio and the solo Pastor of Park United Presbyterian Church in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, God called us to First Presbyterian Church of Wenatchee.  My primary responsibilities here include: teaching, preaching, administration and leadership.

My wife Jeannie, son John and I love serving our Lord and Savior and His Church here in this valley.  If you are looking for a loving congregation who stands boldly on the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you will find it here at First Presbyterian Church of Wenatchee.  We look forward to seeing you!

In Christ,

Pastor Pat McElroy
