OUR TEAM

Our shepherds devote themselves to prayer, to the ministry of the Word, and to equipping the believers to do the work of the ministry for glory of God.

  • Pastor Ben Ice - Elder for Teaching & Vision

    Ben's passion is to serve the church by God’s grace with God’s Word for God’s glory (1 Peter 4:10-12).
