Ben grew up in a Christian home and was familiar with church life from a young age. However, it wasn’t until his senior year of high school, when he began leading a small group of middle school students, that he truly discovered his passion for ministry. It was through discipling those students, walking with them through questions and growth, that Ben felt a clear calling to invest his life in helping others grow in their relationship with Christ.
That calling led him to Lee University, where he earned a B.S. in Non-Profit Management, equipping him with practical tools for ministry leadership. He later continued his education at Southern Theological Seminary, earning a Master’s in Christian Education to deepen his theological foundation and passion for discipleship. Ben and his wife, Jess, enjoy spending their free time at local coffee shops, watching documentaries, and building intentional relationships with those around them.
