Ben Durbin


Pastor

I love what I do. I get to tell people about Jesus and God’s love for them and how God is at work in this world through them. I get to listen with others to the holy scriptures and how God speaks to us in the midst of our daily lives—in our struggles and joys and all of the “in-between” times.

Since 2005, I’ve served in youth ministry roles in congregations in Gladstone, MI and Duluth, MN; as hospital chaplain in New York City; and as pastor in congregations in Rutland/Havana/Fargo, ND; Fergus Falls, MN; and Battle Lake, MN. 

I am husband to Sarah and together we are raising up four amazing children: Nora, Lucy, Evan and Zinnia, who bring joy and laughter into our lives and daily teach us more about God’s grace, abundance, (and patience!) than we could have ever dreamed. Life is so good. God is so good.
