Our Team
Pastor Ben Adams
After ten years in Chicago, Pr. Ben has returned to his home state of Michigan. While in Chicago, Pr. Ben graduated from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and then went on to serve seven more years in campus ministry. The focus of Pr. Ben’s ministry is building powerful relationships, extending grace to all, and making space for equitable, inclusive, counter-cultural community to grow. Outside of campus ministry, Pr. Ben enjoys baking sourdough, brewing kombucha, cultivating houseplants, bird watching, biking, skateboarding, listening to records, playing his ukulele, or just hanging out with his wife Tara, their son Arto, their daughter Saana, and their old hound dog Gracie.
