Meet RPC Ruling Elder - Wes Marchman

Wes Marchman grew up in Decatur, GA and stayed in Atlanta to attend Georgia Tech where he received degrees in Chemistry and Biology. While at Tech he began to think more about spiritual things, but it wasn't until he was attending medical school in Augusta, GA that he fully understood what it meant to be a Christian. A fellow medical student invited him to First Presbyterian Church of Augusta and under the teaching of this church, Wes became a Christian and began growing in faith. He met his wife, Elizabeth, at First Pres and they were married there in 1983. Since that time, they have lived in Jackson, MS, Greenville, NC, and moved to Florence in 1994.Wes and Elizabeth have 5 children, Daniel(20), Helen(18), Charles(16), Rebecca(15), and Benjamin(8). Wes and Elizabeth have homeschooled their children until high school at which time they entered public school. Daniel and Helen are currently involved in RUF on their college campuses. Upon moving to Florence in 1994 Wes and his family joined First Pres in Tuscumbia, and several years later became part of the church plant Redeemer. Wes is a general surgeon in Florence, he loves playing golf, especially with his sons, and loves going to GA Tech football games.
