Ben Feldott - Pastor, Cape Cod Church
Ben Feldott moved to the Cape and founded Cape Cod Church with his wife, Tammy, less than a year after getting married in 1991. Starting with just two people, Cape Cod Church has quickly grown to serve over 1000 people, with over 600 attending one of their 3 weekend services. Ben's passion for leading and teaching at Cape Cod Church can be felt throughout the church community. He enjoys the challenge of communicating eternal truth within the secular culture of New England, as well as finding creative ways to drive home relevant and practical teachings on Sunday mornings. As the "son of a business man" (not a "preacher man" as the songs says!) Ben also has an interest in the business environment, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the application of biblical principles to everything we do. Ben has also been privileged to extend this passion to the other side of the globe - through missions work with our ministry partners in Far East Asia.
