Drake Wayland is the University Minister at First Baptist Church Stephenville. He and his wife, Robyn Wayland, are both Tarleton State University graduates and were actively involved during their time at Tarleton. Drake and Robyn welcomed their first son, Luka, in February 2024. Drake is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. God used Paradigm to transform both of their lives, and they were thrilled when He called them back to Stephenville in December 2023. Drake is passionate about seeing the gospel transform his own life and the lives of students at Tarleton and Ranger. Outside of ministry Drake enjoys fishing, woodworking, and spending time with Robyn and their son, Luka.
