Worship Pastor..................Benjamin Brainard	Benjamin was born in Bowling Green, KY but grew up most of his life outside of Cleveland, Ohio. By God's grace, he was blessed with Christian parents who were faithful to take him to church whenever the doors were open. Benjamin was saved at a young age, and was actively involved in church, but it was not until college that he was able to follow Christ apart from his family. This was a time of great growth and rejoicing in the gospel which led to the desire to be a full-time minister of the gospel. Benjamin graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2004 with a degree in Music Education and in 2005 moved with his new wife, Amanda, to Louisville to start seminary. In December of 2008, both Ben and Amanda graduated from Southern Seminary with Masters of Divinity, his being focused in the area of missions and church growth. Ben and Amanda welcomed their first child, Eleanor into the world March of 2009!
