Travis Bennett, Christian Formation Director
Travis Bennett grew up in church most of his life but a disinterest in church as usual and a confusion over faith led him away from God and the church. In 2008, all of that changed. While many wanted to pray for his healing from a car accident that has left him in a wheelchair for over 10 years, Travis only desired to know God and to know Him intimately and in turn gave his heart to the Lord fresh and new. Since that time, he has grown in his understanding of the Word of God and its application to everyday life. With a heart for the lost and and a desire to build a Biblical foundation in the lives of both new converts and seasoned saints, Travis leads the Discipleshp ministry at the church while include all classes for all ages.
