Ben Faus is a Senior Pastor and analytically minded leader with eight years of experience blending theology, philosophy, data skills, and pastoral care from Crawford, Texas. Trained at Duke Divinity and currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry at Baylor, he equips congregations through preaching, organizational leadership, and practical program design while applying data-driven thinking learned through a Data Science Nanodegree and Python work.
