about

Ben came to Plymouth Heights in the summer of 2023 with 20 years pastoral experience, having served two previous congregations (in Grand Rapids and Detroit). Prior to becoming a pastor, Ben was trained as a counselor. He is passionate about introducing people to God through preaching and teaching the Bible, and supporting and encouraging others as they find their identities and callings through communion with Jesus Christ. Ben enjoys reading, traveling, and watching television and movies with his family. 

Ben posts weekly video meditations on his Youtube channel. You can view them here.

He also regularly contributes devotionals to Words of Hope. You can read them here.
