About Wende Jenness

Wende Jenness is a hometown Wyoming girl, born and raised in Worland.  She joined the staff of First Baptist Church of Basin, Wyoming as Worship Leader in January 2019.  Her love for music and playing the piano led her to join a praise team as a young adult.  This experience grew her love for Jesus and today overflows in worship through song.  Wende’s passion is to live for Christ and spread His love through the gift of music. 

Before coming to FBC, Wende served many ministry roles.  While at First Baptist in Worland, Wyoming, Wende served as Family Life Ministries Coordinator where she worked with families and their children.  Her family has served as a Missionary Support Team for a church and also pastored a church in Greybull before landing at FBC Basin.  During all of these adventures, Wende was blessed to sing and share music with God’s people.

Wende has been married to A.J. for 25 years and has five sensational kids; Aidan, his wife Alescea,, Keegan and his wife Mayra, and Noelle.  She lives on the Jenness Ranch with a crew of pets.. She enjoys playing the piano and singing, traveling to lead worship at women’s events across the state and has helped to plan many women’s events.  Wende has recently stepped into community musicals performing most recently as Tilly in “Sherlock Holmes”, Dolly in “Hello, Dolly,” the Stepmother in “Cinderella,” and Calamity in “Calamity Jane.”  Although quiet nights binge-watching a TV series with her husband are nice, Wende’s life is a constant, wonderful adventure that she would not change for anything.
