Everyone is welcome to our congregational activities.

Welcome Statement

Believing that the image of God is found in every person, we commit ourselves to welcoming people of any age, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, citizenship status, and ability as full participants in our congregational life. This commitment means increasing our awareness of power and privilege as we stretch ourselves to become more inclusive and loving in all our relationships.

Pastor Derrick Ramer has served as the pastor of Benton Mennonite Church since August 2024. He first began pastoral ministry in 2003. Derrick lives in Goshen with his wife, Michelle, and two boys. He enjoys watching nearly any sport but especially follows the Chicago Bears and Purdue basketball. You might catch Derrick riding his motorcycle or his bicycle on a nice day. Maybe his favorite thing to do is get together with friends, play cards, and laugh a lot!

Pastor Derrick says, “It is such a privilege to pastor a congregation and I am grateful for that calling in my life. It is a blessing when people allow me to walk alongside them through the ups and downs of life; to join them in their journey. I enjoy delving into scripture, seeking to understand what it meant in the time and place it was written and what it might be saying to us today. I am comfortable with questions and not having all the answers. Something you will hear me say often is that each of us is a beloved child of God. Your belovedness is a truth I do know and will speak into as a pastor.”
