Ben and Katie Hanchett - Lead Pastors

Katie is originally from New England while her husband Ben grew up on the mission field in both South Africa and Australia. Those worlds would collide when they met each other at Gordon College and they, along with their three kids, have been putting down roots on the North Shore of Massachusetts ever since. They love time at the beach, outdoor activities and travel and are passionate about Jesus and the transformational power of living a life that is committed to following him.

Ben and Katie joined Antioch Beverly, formerly The Harbor, in 2009 and have loved being a part of a community that is committed to Jesus and His purposes! They have served in a variety of capacities; most recently Ben led our children’s ministry and Katie led (and continues to lead) our worship ministry and they both have led lifegroups and discipleship groups. In August 2022 they became the new interim pastors of Antioch Beverly and a year later they were installed as the lead pastors.
