Benjamin “Doc” Powell

Benjamin “Doc” Powell reaches out to students at the University of Pittsburgh.

Doc graduated from Butler County Community College in 2016 with an Associate’s degree.

“As a student, my faith was made practical and accessible for me in ways of which I never previously even thought.” says Doc. “I learned how both vocational aspirations and my cultural and ethnic identity as a Black man were of incredible importance to God and are being redeemed through the work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit in this world. I developed relationships with my campus ministers through which I experienced the enduring and unconditional love and concern of Christ for me. My goal, in prayer, is to display the same thing to young Black men like myself.”
