On November 12, 2017, Ben Seneker was ordained as the Assistant Pastor / Church Planting Pastor for Grace Mills River! Several guests were present to participate in his ordination, and Patrick shared what ministry means for all of us in this special message.

Ministry ABC’s, A meditation for the pastor and people

Ben will spend the majority of his time working with Brian Land (Lead Pastor of Grace Brevard) and Craig Lotz (Director of Network) to launch the Grace Brevard site, our newest church plant. Sunday, November 19 will be the first worship service with their initial core group meeting in their new space. They will officially open their doors and welcome the public on December 3.

Ben will also serve at Grace Mills River, where he will gain more experience in all areas of ministry - learning pastoral care; officiating weddings, funerals; learning about children’s ministry, youth, operating, etc.; learning as much as possible to prepare for church planting in the future.

While Ben has been actively serving in ministry and teaching at Grace Mills River for the past couple of years, we are excited to celebrate his ordination and look forward to his new role with us!
