Ben Bedlion

Ben and his amazing bride, Leanne, have been here at IBC since August 2022. They have three beautiful daughters: Kaylin, Shayla, and Hayden. Ben has served as a pastor since 2013 and been involved in worship ministries, youth ministries, and other church leadership roles since 2008. He holds degrees in Bible, Theology, and Pastoral Leadership from Multnomah University, and is working (ever so slowly) on a MA at Western Seminary, also in Biblical, Theological, and Pastoral Studies.

The Bedlions love doing things together as a family, especially anything involving some sort of friendly competition. Disc golf, basketball, and tennis are family favorites. At home they enjoy board games, puzzles, reading books together, and knock-knock jokes.

Ben would love to get to know you more, hear your story, and/or discuss any questions you might have about Jesus, the Bible, or Immanuel Baptist. He enjoys coffee (a little too much) and would like nothing better than to buy you your favorite drink.
