Keelan Wedeking is a 4th & 5th grade teacher at Reign Christian Academy. Keelan was born and raised in South Denver. Growing up he experienced various forms of education including public, private, and charter. God first invited Keelan to practice faith through action sports, namely skiing; this is where he learned how growth comes through perseverance.

After graduating from Valor Christian High School, Keelan started a clothing business and earned his degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship from the University of Colorado Denver. During that time, he also completed Discipleship Training School through the University of the Nations and Youth With A Mission, where he witnessed what it looks like to abandon everything and follow Jesus. Keelan was challenged with the question: what if we took Jesus's words seriously? In an attempt to answer the question, God planted a dream in him to start a school which lead him into education. From 2021-22 Keelan completed his licensure program through Colorado Christian University (CCU) and worked as a 6th-grade ELA teacher at a charter school in Aurora. At CCU, Keelan will be earning his Master's in Instruction and Curriculum in the Spring of 2024. His mission is to partner with God in helping to expand his Kingdom here on Earth, through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and education.
