Pastor Ben Sandin

Lead Pastor

July 29 2021

Pastor Ben began his service at Bethel in July of 2021. His experience as a pastor is wide-ranging in large and medium size congregations, with ministry focused on congregational renewal, community engagement, youth ministry, and social justice. Pastor Ben has previously served congregations in South Dakota, Michigan, and Minnesota. He is excited about the strong lay leaders and staff at Bethel and the opportunities to reach out to the surrounding community.

Pastor Ben and spouse Kelly (also a pastor) currently live in San Jose and have an adult daughter, Jasmine, who lives in Atlanta. Freya, a German Shepherd, is their joyful companion for walks and hikes in the beautiful Bay Area.
