Westlake UMC is excited to welcome Caasi Grove to our staff as Family Ministries Director! Caasi brings energy, warmth, and a heart for helping children, youth, and families grow in faith together.

"I’m Caasi! I come to Westlake from Memphis, TN, and was born and raised in Coatesville, PA. I started seminary about a year and a half ago and am halfway through earning my Master’s in Youth Ministry. I’m the youngest of eight siblings—so holidays are always a little wild—and I’m the proud ‘fun uncle’ to 20 nieces and nephews. In my free time, I love playing music, video games, and Dungeons & Dragons with friends. I’m a lifelong, die-hard Boston Celtics fan, and if you’re into personality types, I’m an Enneagram 9w8 and an INFP. There’s a lot more to me, so don’t hesitate to say hello—I’d be happy to share!”

We’re looking forward to all the ways Caasi will help nurture our church family and inspire the next generation in their walk with Christ.
