Scott Bennefield

 

Although he enjoys the competition of racing, Scott's primary focus is to glorify God as he shares his heart with others regarding the ‘race of life.’


His competitive athletic endeavors have seen him complete the IronMan triathlon 6 times; 5 half IronMans; 24 tri sprints; 2 duathlons; 4 quintathlons; and over 25 running races.


Triathlete Magazine is the most widely published multisports magazine in the world. Professional triathlete and Hall of Fame member Scott Tinley wrote an article called “More Than a Triathlete” in the October 2000 issue. In this article, Bennefield was the featured element as Tinley reflected on what the sport had come to mean to him.


Scott serves as Body Life Pastor at Hoffmantown Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has over 30 years ministry experience and has served on church staffs in various roles. He is committed to a team ministry that is biblically balanced and healthy. Body Life is foundational to developing community and spiritual transformation through fostering active membership, maturity and ministry involvement.
