Rev. Wes Pitts
I’m originally from Atlanta, GA, but have called NC home for a decade. I’m a graduate of Queens University of Charlotte, where I received a BA in History, and McCormick Theological Seminary, where I received my MDiv. After serving as the Director of Christian Education at First Presbyterian, Statesville, NC for 5 years, I accepted a call to be pastor at First Presbyterian, Reidsville in October 2019. Not only am I the pastor of First Presbyterian Church, I’m an active member of the community. I’m on the board of the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce, treasurer of the Reidsville Kiwanis Club, McCoy Precinct official for the Board of Elections, and generally love to interact with and serve my community. I’m active in Salem Presbytery, having served on the Commission on Ministry and Peace and Justice Task Force. I have also served as a commissioner to the 225th and 226th General Assemblies of the PC(USA). Outside of ministry, I enjoy running, cooking, amateur mixology, reading, traveling, and cheering on my favorite teams - the Atlanta Braves, Buffalo Bills, and Georgia Bulldogs. I’ve been married to the wonderful Liz Whittington since October 2010, and together we have one son, Walt, who can frequently been seen running around the church. We also have a sweet dog, Penny, and cat, Bootsie. You can find my in my office Tuesday - Friday each week. I try to dedicate the mornings to working in the office and to use my afternoons to work in the community or visit members of the congregation. If you’d like to make an appointment to meet with me, feel free to email or call.
Dawne Young
I have enjoyed serving as secretary of First Presbyterian Church of Reidsville since April 1, 2013. I was born in Lexington, NC and my family moved to Reidsville on my 13th birthday. I have been a member of FPC Reidsville for 47 years. I spent 14 years working for Rose’s in Pennrose Mall, starting out in a part-time position and working my way up to the Head Cashier position in the office. From there I moved on to First National Bank and worked in the Bookkeeping Department balancing the books for another 14 years. When our precious daughter was born in 1998, I was able to become a stay at home mom until beginning my time as secretary of FPC Reidsville.
On September 28, 1991 I married Bradley D. Young, Jr. and together we have one daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, and two spoiled cats, Pandora and Knox. Before starting our family, Brad and I enjoyed scuba diving, as we made yearly trips with friends to many wonderful places in the Caribbean.
