We are honored to welcome Becky Wilson as our new Director of Caring Ministries. Becky grew up right here in Springfield, in the Galloway area, where her mom still lives. After spending 20 years teaching sixth grade, she found herself in a season of transition—asking God what might be next.
When Becky lost her husband, she experienced God’s presence in profound new ways. Her journey through grief and healing drew her deeper into the life of Schweitzer, which had already become a spiritual home. Over time, she sensed a calling to serve others walking through their own times of change, loss, and growth.
Ministry, for Becky, is a continuation of what she loved most about teaching—walking with people through meaningful, sometimes difficult seasons. “I wasn’t done walking with people,” she shares. “Ministry became the next faithful ‘yes.’”
Becky is “BB” to six grandkids and loves cheering them on—even if she doesn’t always understand the sport. “I’m the most enthusiastic and completely inaccurate cheerleader at their games,” she laughs. “The kids usually roll their eyes and grin, but I know they love it.”
Her faith has been shaped by many, including both of her grandmothers, who each lived with a deep trust in Jesus and modeled steady, compassionate discipleship. More recently, mentors in education and ministry have encouraged her to keep listening for God’s voice and stepping forward with courage.
Becky sees God at work in the everyday courage of people—saying yes to prayer, choosing forgiveness, or inviting the church into their pain instead of walking alone. Whether in hospital rooms, quiet conversations, or shared tears, she believes God’s grace is always present.
The Parable of the Talents has been especially meaningful to her. For years, she identified with the one who buried their gift out of fear. But she’s learning to trust God’s love and live more freely—even when serving feels vulnerable.
Becky invites the church to support her ministry through prayer, encouragement, and joining in caring efforts like visits, meals, or prayer teams. “God is transforming lives,” she says. “And I’m grateful to walk with people as He does.”
