Westside Staff
JASON JONES | LEAD PASTOR
As everyone’s confidant, sub-par comedian, and Westside’s lead communicator, Pastor Jason leads our church with immense love! He has been our pastor since March 2023 but has attended Westside on and off since he was a teen. Westside has always been Jason’s home, and he is so honored to be able to hold this position and lead people to Christ.
Jason is married to Hannah, and they have a 2-year-old boy named Tate! Hannah serves as the Volunteer Director and a member of the worship team, so together, they are able to reach many people for Christ.
CURT HOWARD | EXECUTIVE PASTOR
Curt is married to his wife Cindy and is a proud dad and grandfather. With 20 years of Executive Pastor experience, Curt brings a level of excellence, love, and care to Westside that we have never had! Curt joined Westside recently and is now our wonderful Executive Pastor! We are so excited to see all the wonderful things the Lord will do through him to continue to improve Westside, and most importantly, win more souls for Christ.
If you don't know Curt from church, you might know him as a counselor, or the best tennis player in the county! We are incredibly blessed to have Curt, and if you have not met him yet, you should do that! His kindness is something to be commended!
MAURA BEDWELL | WORSHIP DIRECTOR
You see her smiling face every Sunday, but we’d love to formally introduce her to you. Maura is a vital asset to our team, wearing many hats with grace and dedication. She serves as our wonderful worship leader, bringing inspiration and joy to our services, and she’s the driving force behind our amazing small groups, fostering community and connection.
On a personal note, Maura is married to her husband Wes, and they recently welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Maggie Mae, into the world. Beyond her roles, we deeply appreciate her work and, most importantly, her heart for reaching people for Christ and creating genuine connections. If you share her passion for ministry, come meet her and feel God’s love radiating from her!
LISA STEPRO | ADMIN COORDINATOR
It is our privilege to introduce Lisa to you! Lisa is a jack of all trades, with many years of experience in Human Resources, counseling, and rehabilitation services. We are thrilled and so blessed to have her as a part of our team.
Lisa offers numerous services to our church, such as HR work—including onboarding employees and assistance with volunteers—counseling services to individuals within the church, and payroll assistance.
We could go on for hours explaining all the ways that she is necessary to our congregation and corporation, but these are just a few! You're going to want to meet her and thank her for keeping Pastor Jason in line :)
KAYLEE STUPEE | CHILDREN'S DIRECTOR
You probably know her from her powerhouse voice on Sunday mornings, but did you know she does much more than that? Kaylee not only serves as a member of our worship team, but is also the Children's Church Director, a member of the Benevolence Team, and runs our church calendar. She is a jack-of-all-trades! Kaylee, in her 9-5 job, works as a Classification Specialist for the Indiana Department of Corrections. She is also the fur mom to her sweet cats, Binx and Sam! Come meet Kaylee and gain a friend for life.
HANNAH JONES | VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR
Also known as Jason's better half, Hannah's infectious personality can be seen all the way across the room. Hannah has a unique ability to lift up everyone around her. With these unique skills, Hannah has been thriving in her role as Volunteer Director. You can find her running around, ensuring the church runs smoothly every Sunday. Hannah, in her 9-5, takes on the insurmountable task of raising Tate AND Jason. Please find Hannah and introduce yourself on Sunday morning if you want your day to brighten.
JOSH BAILEY | ONLINE EXPERIENCE DIRECTOR
You frequently see his work, but barely see him. He's the man behind the computer on Sunday mornings, ensuring that online service goes smoothly, but that's not all he does! Josh also creates wonderful Facebook posts, with amazing graphics, and has created the Westside Church App, so that you never miss a service! We are so blessed to have Josh as a part of our team. We truly would not be able to function on a Sunday without him. If you want to know where he's at, check the sound room, and you'll see him hard at work. His creativity is admirable, and his desire to reach people is unmatched. Come meet him or keep your eyes on social media and you'll see him.
KEITH SCHUESSLER | TREASURER
He might be quiet, but Keith makes a loud impact within our church and community. He brings a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to our church organization, serving in several key roles. Keith is our President/Treasurer, a member of the Westside Benevolence, and Jason’s right-hand man, to name just a few of his important contributions. His efforts are vital in making Westside what it is today.
Keith is married to his wonderful wife, Barb, whom you’ll often see on stage as one of our talented pianists. He is also a retired aerospace engineer and a proud grandpa.
You’ll spot Keith everywhere around the church, and we’re delighted to now share with you the name behind the familiar face you see so often!
WESLEY BEDWELL | TECH & AV
Maybe the most versatile member of our team, Wes brings a sense of calm to anyone he meets. He is a member of our worship team, a tech guru, and the creator and maintainer of our website. He can even make a mean cup of coffee. He has been a member of Westside his whole life, so his love for this place is truly special. Wes is married to our worship leader, Maura, and is the proud dad to Miss Margaret Mae. You'll never see Wes without a smile on his face, coming in for a hug, or drinking a cup of coffee. We refer to him as our "fire-putter-outer, and he is just that. Sundays could not happen if it weren't for him. His kindness and love are so evident in every conversation you have with him.
