Ben Purves, Neighbor

Ben grew up in California, and is now a Lake Ridge resident and Pastor of Student Ministries at Occoquan Bible Church.  He has a BA in Bible and Theology from Multnomah University, and completed his MA in Biblical Studies at Capital Bible Seminary where he met his wife.

Ben enjoys working with the teens, college students, and parents at his church.  Last year he and his wife Ricki began the adventure of parenting, and they are proud parents of their son Andrew.  When Ben's not chasing his speed-crawling son across the floor, you might find him enjoying a cup of coffee and a good read.
