Carmen Benford, Nursery

Carmen first started at CBC in September of 1978. She was born and grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the eighth of nine children.

Before staying home to raise her children, Carmen earned her degree in Elementary Education and taught for several years. Carmen is married to CBC elder Cory Benford and they have four children – Courtnee (19), Casey (15), Caree (10), and Cailee (6).

In addition to her service to CBC as Deaconess of the CBC Nursery, Carmen is involved in the choir ministry and Children’s Church ministry.

Carmen first came to know the Lord through the A.S.U. Navigator ministry. She was asked to translate John 1 for a young woman from Mexico City and while translating the prayer for her salvation, prayed for her own as well.

One of Carmen’s favorite verses is Psalm 37:4,5 “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him, and He will do it.”
