Freshman & Sophomore Dean, K-12 Curriculum Coordinator

EC Start Date: 2022

Education: B.S. - Education & English, Seton Hall University
MBA, Rutgers University
M.Ed. - Educational Leadership, American College of Education

Bio:

Ben has spent the majority of his professional career in education, serving as a 6th and 8th grade math teacher. Outside of the classroom, Ben’s enjoyment for sports has put him on the sidelines as a soccer coach, while his enjoyment of the arts has had him behind the scenes running the sound crew for numerous plays and musicals. Ben holds a BA in English and in Education from Seton Hall University, an MBA from Rutgers University, and a Masters in Educational Leadership from American College of Education.

Ben is married to his amazing wife, Cayla. They have four children: Ella, Violet, Jude, and Lucy. Ben and his family are active members of Cornerstone Christian Church where Ben volunteers as a kid’s church teacher.

Ben is excited about his role at EC. He is incredibly passionate about all things education, and has an even greater enthusiasm for sharing God’s grace and love with others. Being able to work in an environment where these two passions intersect is incredible. He is really looking forward to the opportunity to walk alongside young people and help them navigate the ups and downs of life and, ultimately, grow and develop in who they are in Christ.

Bio:

Alisa’s three passions are: sharing Jesus’ love, racial reconciliation, and helping students learn. Eastern Christian provides the opportunity to do all three every day. It is such a blessing to share with students that God doesn’t make mistakes, so when we struggle in school, we have confidence that we are each made in His image and perfectly designed for a kingdom calling. Her church, Madison Avenue Christian Reformed, would welcome you anytime!
