CrossPointe McFarland is excited to welcome Steve and Jenell Bender with us during our morning celebration worship service!

Steve serves as a BBFI Associate Mission Director in Springfield, Missouri, and oversees missionary care and chaplain endorser of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International. Jenell has served along side her husband in ministry for decades and is a sought after gifted speaker/communicator for women’s conferences and ministry events. Together Steve and Jenell complement each other and have ministered all over the world together.

Steve is originally from Texas and Jenell from Fresno, California. Jenell is out of Chestnut Avenue Baptist Church Fresno, now Sonrise Church of Clovis. Steve and Jenell are both graduates from Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College in San Dimas, California and served as BBFI Missionaries for approximately 18 years in Korea. After a two year stint at Temple Baptist Church in Springdale, Arkansas, they now make their home in the Queen City of the Ozarks in the Show Me State and are active members of Graceway Baptist Church in Springfield, Missouri.

Make plans to join us and show our appreciation for the Bender family!

Mark your calendars and invite your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers!
