Shannon Weddle gave her life to Jesus in October 2015 after reading the Bible for herself for the first time. That moment changed everything. Soon after, she began serving in youth ministry because she wants the next generation to experience the same life-changing relationship with God. Her passion is helping young people discover the power of reading Scripture for themselves.

Shannon serves as Executive Director at Bluff First Church in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, where she helps lead and support the ministry in a wide range of ways. Her team affectionately calls her the “Deep Dive Specialist” because of her ability to research problems thoroughly and find thoughtful solutions.

She and her husband, Mason, share a deep passion for the next generation and long to see young people genuinely on fire for Jesus. When she’s not at the church, you’ll likely find her reading a book, walking outdoors, or hosting a board game night with friends.
