Ben and his family come to St James’ from St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Mobile, AL, where he has served first as Curate and then as Associate Rector since 2008. He received his Master of Divinity from Virginia Theological Seminary and his AB in Religion from the University of Georgia. Prior to his time at St. Paul’s, Ben served as Vicar of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Valdosta, GA.
Ben said, “From the first conversation I had with the Search Committee, I felt like St. James’ could be a special place to share in ministry. We are excited about this opportunity, and I look forward to being with all of you soon!”
We all look forward to welcoming and working with Ben as St. James’ moves into the future with energy and optimism.
