Leadership Profile

Ben Shaw

Ben Shaw
Graduation: 2014
Major: History

Riverdale junior Ben Shaw grew up involved in his home church, so stepping into leadership roles within the Alma College Chapel was a natural fit. In addition to being a Student Ministry Coordinator, he helps lead worship and a Bible study team.

“I really enjoy Chapel, and I believe that God uses me here,” he says. “I’m in charge of planning the weekly games at my Bible study. I also sit on the planning board to help finalize decisions and step into any role if another leader is unable to make it. I really like working with people.”
