More about Paul Zell
After serving as a pastor in MN, SD, GA and then teaching at our Seminary in WI for 15 years, it's a privilege to be back in the South. But why? We are here to share the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

You see, when you come to know the Holy Scriptures, you find that God’s grace is not only “amazing,” like the song says; it’s also powerful and practical. God’s grace is a comfort in times of stress. It gives rest to those who are weary. It brings God’s everlasting mercy even the “chief of sinners” (1 Timothy 1:12-17) and an “overflowing hope” to anyone who trusts in him (Romans 15:13).

If you’re still reading this little “bio,” I hope you will give me the opportunity to show you what the Scriptures say and to build you up in the grace of God that’s poured out through Jesus Christ. Please don’t be reluctant to get in touch with me with a text, email, or phone call.

More about Ben Schwartz
Hello! I'm Ben. I was born in the Midwest, raised on the West Coast, and am now blessed to call WNC home.

I'm not sure if there was ever a time in my life where I knew for certain that I wanted to be a pastor. I was blessed with very supportive teachers and parents who were quick to point out potential gifts I might have for serving others. However, going into college I still wasn't sure if full time ministry was for me.

Amid all of my uncertainty, and the doubts I still have, I always had people in my life who were quick to encourage me and help me, but even quicker to point me to the best, and only, source of certainty there is: Jesus.

I have been thoroughly blessed to be a part of Living Savior's gospel ministry, surrounded by people who share a common faith in their unchanging God. Even though this world is crazy, broken, and changing all the time, God's children rest assured; although we don't know what the future holds, we know the One who holds the future.

If you or someone you know is looking for a source of certainty in their life, please feel free to contact me or anyone else at Living Savior. We would love to get to know you!
