LEAdERSHIP

Pastor Ben has been in ministry for over 30 years. Since taking over as Senior Pastor at Bethany Christian Center in 2002, the church was predominantly Filipino, however being born and raised in Stockton brought about the vision to become a multi-cultural congregation reflecting the city’s diversity—which God continues to fulfill.  The church has seen the peaks and valleys of numerical growth but one thing remains constant, God’s love is prevalent to all who visit.  He is married to Marylou and has four children and five grandchildren, and looking forward to more as the family is growing.   Along with being Senior Pastor he currently serves as the General Superintendent of the entire IAFB organization. 

Fun fact:  Pastor loves the Las Vegas Raiders
