Experience
Teaching since 2007
Wes Bareford has been teaching and coaching at Crean Lutheran High School since 2009. He met his wife, Janet, at Concordia University, Irvine. They have four children (and one on the way!) who are such a joy to them. God has blessed him with so much - family, ministry, health... Most of all, God has blessed him, and all of us, with his Son Jesus. He likes the above verse because it reminds him that God’s kingdom is here and now. Wherever there is a community of believers, however big or small, God is present in His Word and Spirit, blessing his family with his grace, his love, and his fellowship. It is good to be a child in God’s household, and Mr. Bareford is so content to be part of his family at Crean. His prayer is that each and everyone one of our students grows to appreciate the community at Crean Lutheran for what it is – a family, each one of us beloved to our heavenly Father.
As God blessed Abraham to be a blessing to others, Mr. Bareford prays that God will use him, and the gift of teaching that has been given him, to be a blessing to his students. He is so thankful that he can teach at a Christian school, where we can talk openly about Jesus and pray in his name. What a privilege to read aloud, study, and teach the bible in a high school classroom!
Mr. Bareford believes that teenagers actually enjoy using their God-given brains even if they think otherwise. He strives to teach his students how to think as we discuss God's Word. He sees teaching theology as an opportunity to give his students Jesus in all that they study together. Mr. Bareford is looking forward to an awesome school year, he hopes to share Jesus with his students in every lesson.
