James Best

I am a bi-vocational minister/missionary serving  the Westland/Wayne communities. Bi-vocational meaning self-supported. I am currently affiliated with Tapestry Circle, a mission agency serving Michigan from a minister/missionary standpoint  and for my daily income I am part of the support staff at Our Lady of Good Council, in Plymouth, MI.
I have been married to my best friend and wife Syndie for 15 years. We live in the North-West Metro-Detroit suburb  of Westland. We have three children Emily, Samantha, and Josiah. Our children all attend the Wayne-Westland School District and all have received awards for their academic and social achievement.

When I am not working as a husband, Dad, or employee I am a volunteer at several local organizations. Which include: Schweitzer Elementary School, Jefferson-Barnes Elementary School, Gleaners Food Bank, City of Westland Recycling Committee, and the Westland Family Service Center.
