Candace Bendever
I have been singing and dancing for as long as I can remember and teaching dance for over 20 years. While I love dance, my passion is using it as tool to help students discover who they are, what they are capable of, and the gifts they do not even know they have in them. This year, like the other years I have had the joy of serving in, I hope to see lives changed. I want to see students leave with a new understanding of God's call on their life. That by saying "yes" they step into all that God has planned for them.
Ben May
Along with his wife, Ben and Kara May are the Next Gen Pastors here at New Hope Church. Being raised in the church and spending his summers doing camps, retreats, and fine art competitions, he believes passionately about investing in the next generation and equipping the saints for works of ministry so the body of Christ may be built up!
Kara May
My husband, Ben and I are on staff at New Hope as the Next Gen pastors. I have been working with youth students for over 10 years and it is my passion. Starting off in church productions, I have been involved in drama for most of my life. I have taught drama at New Hope's Worship and Arts camp for several years. I am very excited to return this year and not only teach students about drama but I believe in the equipping of students to use their voice for Christ and become confident in who He says they are.
Dan Cutshall

Courtney Eckenrode
I have been assisting Pastor Candace in dance since the start of Worship Arts Camp in 2009. I have a unique experience with Worship Arts Camp in that I started out as a student and now have the privilege of being one of the leaders. My heart for camp is to help students seek God with everything they have and to understand their purpose, gifts, and callings. These camps began to spark these things in my own life, and I am so honored to be a part of this in the lives of others. I am excited to see how God moves through every part of camp!
