Pastor Ben Rivera
Assistant/Youth Pastor

 Pastor Ben Rivera really knows young people and in spite of this he still loves them deeply!!!  He is concerned about all of the transitional growth that kids go through during adolescence.  He is a youth pastor who is involved in the lives of those in his care.  Among the many strengths of his ministry is longevity.  After more than 11 years of ministry at Praise, he has seen a complete cycle of teens grow up and mature through our youth group.  The fruit of his leadership can be seen in former youth group members who have since moved onto college, adulthood and returned to help to influence a new generation.
