About Pastor Ben Bryson
After 26 wonderful years of ministry at Court Street Christian Church in Salem, Oregon, my wife and I decided to get a one-way ticket to Maui for a much needed respite and reconnection.. a working retirement of sorts.
My mission is to share my experience, strength and hope by offering Bible-based pastoral care to those that are hurting from life's challenges.
I have been able to shepherd individuals/couples going through heartache/grief, marital issues, divorce, and Pastoral Consulting to churches.
Thank you for visiting my site!
God Bless,
Pastor Ben
