Current Staff
Rev. Zeb Hough | Pastor
Zeb was born in Batavia, NY, where he enjoyed a large family, sports, and church. His parents instilled in him deep values of responsibility and strong character. Though his family would be considered poor, his parents worked tirelessly to ensure the family never went one day without something to eat on the table.
His childhood was his greatest teacher. His personal experience of receiving public assistance, social service benefits, and compassionate ministries from churches have given Zeb the deep desire to serve. More than that, his understanding of launching on from these services has helped shape how he views these community safety nets.
At the age of eighteen, when he married his bride, Summer, his life changed. She has worked in the not-for-profit and church sectors for 19 years as well with responsibilities ranging from Non-Profit Manager, Pastor, and Program Administrator, to Director of Development. She has a passion for warm weather, yoga, and their two children Isaiah and Eden, community, and quippy one-liners. She sees her life as an epic adventure of possibilities.
Zeb has worked in the human services field in one capacity or another, serving in pastoral ministry for sixteen years, and working in various contexts for the nonprofit sector. He has worked to find solutions to mend broken systems, systemic injustice, and generational poverty.
He holds a Master’s in Theological Studies from Northeastern Seminary with a specific focus on family systems and strategic leadership. He has certifications in crisis counseling, spiritual direction, trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing.
Currently, Zeb is the Executive Director of Religious Community Services in New Bern. He loves the Lord, his wife, and their two beautiful children. He has a deep desire to see lives changed and people set free to live the lives they were created to live.
Zeb writes, “This new season at BSCC is going to be full of surprises! We are going to do life together and I am excited to see what God unfolds in our midst. I hope the congregation is ready for all that God has for us.” He is excited for this new season of ministry.
