City Church of New Orleans - Wendy Trosclair

Wendy Trosclair District Pastor

About my family nucleus:: My highschool sweetheart, Bryan Trosclair, and got married in September 1999. We have a very loving son, Ayden.

Salvation Experience:: After my father passed away, I had such an emptiness in my heart. I was 16 years old at the time, and nothing I did could fill the hole in my heart. Bryan invited me to small group several times, and so one day I accepted. It was fun. I then went to a church service. You could say Jesus and I started our relationship that way, but it wasn’t until my first year of college that I truly surrendered and gave my heart to Him. The love I felt from God's people helped me open my heart to the only one Who could fill the emptiness in my heart.

What areas of Ministry do you oversee?: As an executive pastor, I support my husband with overseeing many areas including small group ministry, college ministry, youth ministry, young adult ministry, children's ministry. My primary responsibility is to oversee Church Administration and Finances.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?: “When you are secure in your relationship with the Lord and you know that your identity is in Christ alone, then everything, including other relationships, will fall into place.” I’ve always stood on Matthew 6:33, which says that if you seek the kingdom of God first, then all these things shall be added to you.

Who has made the biggest impact on your life?: How can we measure who has made the biggest impact in a person's life? So many have impacted my life in some way, especially Pastor Owen McManus, Pastor Tammy McManus, Bishop Owen McManus, Bryan Trosclair. I have grown in my walk with the Lord because of so many people that I can go to and rely on.

What’s something that you do well that most people won’t know about you?: Most people don’t know that I love playing the claw machine game and have become really good at getting stuff out of them. I am now teaching Ayden to do the same thing.What are you passionate about?I am passionate about seeing others who are like me, empty, hurting and lost, come to personally know Jesus.

Where is your dream vacation?: I don’t think I have one dream vacation...it's more like a list of places I’d like to go to in my lifetime. Places like Jerusalem, Israel; Paris, France; Italy; Hawaii; Britain; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and others. One thing that I’d really like to do is go on a safari in South Africa.
