Ben Roebuck
Youth Ministry & Technical Director
About Me
As our technical & youth ministry director, Ben has been able to share his passion for live technical production in addition to the spiritual development and growth of students alongside their personal walk with Christ. He has been on the production team for numerous touring acts across the country, from small venues to stadiums, and many of these events have been within the sphere of contemporary Christian music. Ben has witnessed LNPC through many years and adaptations, notably with the growth of the expanding technical capabilities and resources. Ben’s greatest passion lies in supporting the spiritual growth of our youth. He aims to bring both energy and wisdom to the ministry, aiming to foster an environment where students can encounter Christ deeply and develop lasting faith foundations. When he is not with our students or programming lighting at church, Ben enjoys live music, fishing, skiing, rollercoasters, traveling, and rooting for the Padres!
