Pastor Rebecca is originally from the Chicago area.  She received her Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Classics from Knox College, during which time she spent a year studying in Athens, Greece.

After spending three years as a Presbyterian mission worker in China, Rebecca served as the Youth Director at a Taiwanese American New Church Development.

Upon graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary with her Master of Divinity, Rebecca’s call “to the ends of the earth” brought her to Oklahoma, where she has been serving congregations since 2008.

In February 2023, Rebecca was called to serve as pastor of St James, Jenks. Shortly after arriving at St. James, Pastor Rebecca completed her Doctor of Ministry in Faith, Work, Economics, and Vocation from Fuller Theological Seminary.  Her thesis focuses on congregational identity during transition and is grounded in the Reformed doctrine of the Priesthood of All Believers.

In her ministry, Pastor Rebecca seeks to build consensus centered around God’s call and direction.  Through discernment and encouragement, she nurtures individual and collective calls to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, both in the church and in daily life.  Her prayer is that we might more closely resemble the Church that Jesus calls us to be.

Married to the Rev. Cole Weston, together they have five children.
