Ben Hein
CHURCH PLANTING Pastor
Ben is passionate about meeting people and talking about how the beauty and life-giving authority of Jesus is really good news for each and every one of us. As the church planting resident, Ben is focused on building a vision and team for a future church plant on the Near Westside of the city that aligns with God’s deep love for the people there. Prior to entering the ministry in 2014, Ben worked as a software developer for a large consulting company in the Washington, D.C. area. He earned his M.Div in 2017 from Reformed Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.
Ben and Neva were married in 2013. While Ben had lived in the D.C. area for most of his life, Neva is a native of California and moved to D.C. to pursue her career in data science and project management. As adult converts to Christianity, Ben and Neva have a special heart for ministering to the doubts, questions, and pains of those who don’t know Jesus.
Ben and Neva have two sons (born in 2018 and 2020). They enjoy exploring the many parks and activities that Indianapolis has to offer together as a family. They also identify as “foodies" and are constantly on the hunt for new food experiences to try. When they’re not eating food from someone else’s kitchen, they’re probably cooking up a meal in their own with the hopes that you’ll come join them for a meaningful evening together.
