Our Story

Meet the Benson Family

Keith and Claire are both native Long Islanders and have lived here almost their whole lives. Keith attended Suffolk Community College and Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL and graduated in 2000. He felt compelled from the Lord to return to Long Island.

After an internship at Medford A/G (now Axis Church), Keith received his pastoral credentials in 2001 and served that church until December of 2002. While there, he met the love of his life, Claire and they pursued full-time ministry and marriage.

They joined the staff of Shirley A/G in July of 2003 and were married that following September. After 10 years of youth ministry, Long Island Sectional Rep and NY District Camp Recreational Director, they felt the stirring of the Lord to step out in faith.

They felt compelled by the Lord to see a new church on the North Fork of Long Island. They moved in November 2011 and have seen God be faithful every step of the way to build his church.
