DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION (DCE)
Ben Venteicher was called to serve as DCE at Zion in June 2023. He primarily works with our Children and Youth ministries, as well as Young Adults and Families. He loves hanging out with Middle school youth and teaches Confirmation (Midweek) classes, plus leads our High school hangouts on Wednesday nights. He hosts monthly Zion youth events for both Middle school and High school students. In the summer, he absolutely LOVES helping plan and being a part of Vacation Bible School (VBS).
Ben is blessed to be called dad by 5 great kids and married to an incredible woman of faith (Michelle). They are both Nebraska natives (Go Huskers), and they love all things LUTHERAN. Ben graduated from Concordia University, Nebraska with a degree in Education and was certified as a Director of Christian Education. (Go Bulldogs). He enjoys spending time at Camp Luther, Nebraska and being outdoors.
Naturally, his favorite book is the Bible and loves talking about JESUS! Jesus says in John 11:25-27, Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
I pray you are like Martha and can say, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world."
If you have questions about the Christian faith, the Bible, Jesus, or just life stuff... come talk to Ben. He'd love to visit with you more!
