About Ben

Hey, my name is Ben, and I have been serving at our church as the youth pastor for the last 12 years. I love working with young people, and my greatest desire is to lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. I have had the privilege of working with many families to navigate the never-ending challenges that life brings their way. Nothing makes me happier than seeing people find the hope and peace that Jesus brings to broken lives. I am thankful that I learned how to play guitar and sing early in life because I can now utilize those skills by leading the kids in worship at church.

In addition to serving my church community, I am also a photographer. One of my favorite events to shoot is weddings. I also enjoy shooting photos of my family and friends. Recently I have started shooting faith-based pictures for churches and ministries to use in their promotional materials. I love combining my love of photography with my passion for my faith. I also host a ministry podcast, where we talk about life, leadership, and ministry. My faith has led me to some amazing opportunities; I love going on mission trips around the world. I especially enjoy ministering in third-world-countries, where people are eager to hear about the love of Jesus.

Being a dad is one of the most important things in my life. My wife and I have often talked about how our family will always remain a top priority in our lives. I consider the raising of our family as one of the most important jobs God has given me, and I love every minute of it!
