Our pastor, Ben Greene became a Christian at 12 although not much happened for about five years. Then, a friend invited Ben to his church and a teens Bible study. He went to college, trained as a journalist and then felt confident about God\u2019s call to pastoral ministry. He served two churches and also started a content writing business before his family began to worship at Living Hope in 2021. As pastor, what he enjoys most in ministry is humorous, applicable preaching so people apply God\u2019s word and character to life.<\/span><\/p>\nBen and Halley treasure their two young boys! Our family loves being outdoors \u2014 the mountains for Ben and the beach for Halley. In those places, we slow down and see the beauty of God\u2019s creation. We all enjoy reading and value deep relationships where we slow down and experience life to the fullest in Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Pastors Favorite Desserts:<\/span><\/h3>\nChocolate and peanut butter ice cream<\/span><\/h4>\nBanana pudding<\/span><\/h4>\nPumpkin pie<\/span><\/h4>\nFeel free to bring any of the these to church to bless Pastor Ben.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/p>\nElders<\/h2>\nJanet & Richard Kaiser<\/h4>\nRichard and Janet joined Living Hope Family Church in 1998 under the pastorship of Pastor Mike Petzer.
