"Whether it's at UBC or BAHA, I'm so passionate about pouring into the next generation of worship leaders and Jesus followers! It's so important for me to cultivate special connections with these families and the students who are on my worship teams! I have been intentional with my investment in time and energy, seeing growth take place both in their spiritual journeys and musical pathways. It is an incredible blessing to see how these students have grown over the last several years, and to be a part of that process is so rewarding!" — Ben Sandstrom
