Ben Reed is our Director of Community Groups. One of the best decisions we have made, as a church is to take a chance on a young man who had no experience in this area, wasn’t yet finished with seminary, and wasn’t really looking for this type of position. Still, Ben has an incredible heart, he’s extremely mature, and he’s the type of guy an organization is smart to grab before someone else does.
I want a church that is recognized in its community as a catalyst of positive change and influence that cares as much or more about people who aren’t even yet a part of the church. A church like that will prosper as the city where it is located prospers.
