Elders

Ben Reaoch

Lead Pastor for Preaching + Vision

God, in His grace, brought the gospel into my life early through my parents, who came to faith when I was young and faithfully taught me His Word. Though I can't name the exact moment of my conversion, the Lord was clearly at work, drawing me to Himself. In college, I sensed His call to vocational ministry. After marrying Stacy in 1999, we spent two years at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, then moved to Louisville, where I completed my M.Div. and Ph.D. at Southern Seminary. I served in student ministry in Kentucky before coming to Three Rivers Grace in 2006 as a vocational elder. God has blessed us with four children—Milaina, Noah, Annalyse, and Micah. I enjoy running, time with our kids, and date nights with Stacy.

Ken Hovis, Elder

I was raised in a Christian home, and my family was very active in the local Church. Growing up, my parents owned a Christian bookstore, and I was exposed to the Gospel at a young age through the local church. By God’s grace, I was saved at the age of 6 in the basement of this church and was baptized shortly after. I attended Mount Union College and received my Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Carnegie Mellon University. My wife, Jen, and I were married in 2008, in Pittsburgh. We lived in the Middle East in Doha, Qatar for five years. We have three children, Levi, Alivia, and Micah, two of whom were born in Doha. I enjoy hunting, fishing and all types of outdoor activities and sports.

Tim Wolford, Elder

I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and was active in the church throughout my childhood and teenage years. When I left home for college I strayed from the faith and spent several years pursuing worldly desires. By God’s grace, He showed me the futility in pursuing happiness apart from Christ, and I was baptized as a believer at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in 2011. I am blessed to be married to my wonderful wife, Rachel, and we have three amazing children, Luke, Avery and Jake. I enjoy college football, fitness, skiing, and movies.
