Born and raised right here in Rockingham County, in a minister’s home, Reuben was exposed to a variety of cultures and experiences early in life.  He grew up on a dairy farm, was educated in Christian schools, and married an awesome woman who lived four miles from his home.  They have three incredible adult children and one grandchild who lives in Arizona.  Reuben felt called into ministry at a very young age… a calling that was shared by his wife, Ruth Ann.  He has served as a missionary in Jamaica, and pastored churches in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.  He received his M. Div. degree from Eastern Mennonite Seminary.  Having retired as NBC’s Pastor of Congregational Care, Reuben continues to direct GriefShare, lead a fellowship of retired men and a care group, mentor several men, and serve as chaplain at the local hospital.  His hobbies include gardening, fishing, Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles, and camping.  He is known for his laughter, compassion, and love for Christ.
