Pastoral Leadership

Rev. Dr. Troy & Mother Beth Benitone

Directing Pastor, Community of Faith Church Marion

Pastor Troy and Beth, (known as Mother Beth by our church family, a name given to her by our African church friends), along with their family, returned to Southern Illinois in April 2010, after serving the Lord as a pastor and church planter in several cities over the previous 20 years. He has led numerous mission trips and crusades to plant churches in Honduras and Africa. Troy shares, "My heart's desire is to be involved in leading the church in the area of new church development and in expanding the reach of the Church through growing new faith communities through new church starts. "My life credo is to dream dreams and plan plans so grand that if God is not in them, they are doomed to fail." Troy and his wife, Beth, have four beautiful children: Heather, Joshua (wife Sarah), Caleb (wife Jessica) and Megan. They also have two granddaughters Addison Rogers and Ezra Benitone. Troy is the third Pastor in the over 40-year history of Community of Faith.
