Pastor Ben was born and raised in Monroe North Carolina. While growing up, Pastor Ben and his family attended Antioch Baptist Church where at the age of 15, he responded to the drawing of the Holy Spirit and was saved. He made the decision to dedicate his life to the Lord's service and answered God's call to the ministry at age 18. Pastor Ben graduated from Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute in 1996 and then served as Pastor and Youth Pastor at several churches in the Charlotte metro area. God completed the ministry team in 1999 when he married his wife Jenifer. God then blessed the union with two precious children. Timothy is currently age 6 and Gracie is age 4. Pastor Ben has continued his formal studies of the scripture by completing his Bachelors Degree and will finish his Masters in Theology Degree in 2007.

To God be the Glory!
