Ben Fletcher, Pastor
Ben was born March 8, 1937, the fifth of seven children in a West Texas farm family. He graduated from Abilene Christian University in 1955 and Texas A&M in 1965. After graduation, Ben taught high school Chemistry and Biology for nine years. Three of those years were in Goliad where he met and married Lynnda Birdwell and soon had a family of three boys and one girl. One boy was lost to an untreatable nerve disorder.
In 1969 he took a sales position with a major pharmaceutical company and was transferred to Austin in 1974. While attending Westover Hills Church of Christ doctrinal differences made it impossible to continue in fellowship. He and his family joined Jackson Boyett in a home Bible study in 1978 and the study grew into what is now Dayspring Fellowship where the whole family has been blessed with sound biblical teaching and prospered through a loving Christian fellowship.
Ben is currently retired and continues his 40 plus years as serving as a Dayspring pastor.
