Jason comes to Millbrook with over thirteen years of student ministry experience and most recently by way of Dawson Memorial Baptist Church, Birmingham, Alabama, where he served as Student Pastor for the past two and half years. Jason and his wife Marsha desire to help ignite teenager’s hearts for Christ in various ways. Having studied at Atlanta Christian College in East Point, Georgia, Jason believes strongly in connecting with and equipping teachers and parents to reach students, as well as high energy worship, God-driven messages, fellowship outings, mission trips, and Bible studies. Jason also believes in order to build those relationships with students you must be a part of their everyday lives. Because of that, Jason will often be seen at local schools, games, programs and a variety of other community events throughout the year. Jason is the founder of Greater Ministries, which is a non-profit ministry with the passion to help all people identify and unleash their talents.

Dr. Ben Northcutt holds a B.A. in International Affairs from Murray State University, an International Certificate from Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City, Mexico, and a Masters of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. In 2016, he graduated with a PhD in Family Ministry from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY with a Doctoral Minors in Higher Education and Biblical Counseling/Applied Theology.

Over the last ten years, Ben and his wife, Jess, have been blessed with four amazing children—Bella, Jack, Emme, and Rorie — and have had the opportunity to serve God in a variety of ways, across a wide range of opportunities. God has brought Ben and Jess together under the same mission—making disciples who make disciples—beginning with their own family. He has given Ben a vision and a drive to help families grow together as disciples of Jesus, and Ben has spent the last five years working with families of all shapes and sizes to help them learn to “walk with Jesus as a family” with growing excitement and confidence.

In his free time, Ben loves to hang out and drink coffee…read and drink coffee…play games while drinking coffee…drink coffee sitting around a campfire…and contemplate the mysteries of the universe with cup of coffee in hand.
