Rev. Bart Teel

​After serving as a lay ministry leader for many years, Bart Teel joined the FBCW ministerial team in January 2011 to serve full time as Minister to Students and Coordinator of Evangelism and Outreach Ministries, and a few years later, the church shifted Bart’s role to Associate Pastor, especially focusing on Education, Families, and Children.  Throughout each ministry week, he is engaged in leading and teaching a wide variety of age group ministries, from school-aged kids to young adult couples to FBCW Men.  Bart and his wife, Denise, are both Wetumpka natives and graduates of Wetumpka High School as well as Samford University.  Denise is active in ministry at FBCW, serving in ministry to children and as a member of the adult worship choir.  The Teels have been blessed with four children. Their adult daughters Tori (Teel) Harris and Karen both live and work in Birmingham, AL. Their son Sam is a student at Auburn University, and their youngest son, Jay, is a student at Wetumpka High.  The Teel family has been a part of the FBCW family since 1993. 

​Bart’s hobbies include distance running and serving as P.A. announcer for Wetumpka High Football.  On any given weekend you are most likely to find the Teels working around the house, traveling to support their son Jay in a regional tennis tournament, or traveling across the state to visit with their young adult kids.
