Pastoral Staff

Pastor Paul Benson graduated from Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, Ontario in 1970. He began his ministry at Neustadt Baptist Church near Hanover, Ontario, and has also pastored in the London, Haliburton and Almonte areas. He served as Chaplain at St. Joe's Hospital in London and for a period of 10 years owned and operated a private music business.

God has called Pastor Paul to the unique ministry of planting new churches, restoring both spiritually and physically churches that have almost closed their doors, to eventually leading the church into building expansion projects. Pastor Paul has been at ABC for 3 years and continues to see a once small church grow and mature in Christ.

Linda, Paul's wife, works with him as a team and leads the music ministry at the church. They have 3 adult children and currently 8 grandchildren. They enjoy sharing their love for the Lord through music, and spending quality time with family and friends.
