Pastor Benson grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and received his undergrad degree at Kansas State University.  He later received his Masters of Divinity from Duke University in North Carolina. After pastoring a church in Virginia Beach, Benson joined the staff here at Gainesville Church in 2017 as the church planting pastor of our second campus, Revive House Church.  In 2023, following the retirement of Pastor John, Pastor Benson was appointed as the Lead Pastor of Gainesville Church.  Continuing to see the church grow, sharing Jesus and reaching people who have never been to church have always been Benson's passions! When he's not serving the church he enjoys spending time with his family: wife Alicia, their 2 young children & their energetic dogs Bean and Duncan.  If you've met Benson, you know he is a self proclaimed "nerd" and "super goofy," and on long weekends you can find him riding his bike and spending time with family and friends.
