Wesley Schlotzhauer, Jr., Ph.D.

Wes came to Orangewood with his wife Janet, who became a member, in 1990.  Wes had been the pastor of Sunnyslope Presbyterian Church and had resigned to accept a faculty position, teaching history and other general education courses at Devry Institute of Technology.  Before that Wes had been a pastor in Colorado, Iowa, and Missouri and was a faculty member and academic administrator at the Schools of Theology in Dubuque, Iowa.

Although he is not formally a Parish Associate, Wes has been regularly involved in pastoral and non-pastoral activities since coming to Orangewood, including occasional preaching, teaching in adult education, children's church school, and confirmation class, hospitals visitation, and, his personal favorite, regularly substituting as an usher at morning worship.  Wes retired as a minister and as a professor in November 2002 and continues to be involved at Orangewood
