Love God. Love People.
Serve the World.
Meet Our Pastor
Hello everyone,
My name is Ben Biggs, and I have the joy of serving as the pastor of Cicero United Methodist Church.
A little about me: I graduated from Noblesville High School in 1995, and after many years away, it’s a blessing to return to Hamilton County—it feels good to be back! I earned my bachelor’s degree in General Studies from IU Kokomo and later completed my Master of Divinity at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.
I've been married to Kate—who pastors at Main Street UMC in Kokomo—since 2006. Together we have three wonderful kids: Grace, Charlotte, and Carter. I truly love being a husband, a father, and a pastor.
Some of the things I value most about the United Methodist Church are its rich understanding of grace and its deep commitment to mission. These two pillars have deeply shaped my life and ministry.
In my free time, you’ll probably find me enjoying family time, music, board games, outdoor activities, movies, or video games.
I’m excited to see where God is leading us in the years ahead. As I often say: "It's all about relationships!"
Let’s grab a cup of coffee sometime—I’d love to get to know you.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Ben
The United Methodist Church originates from Methodism, which was started by Charles and John Wesley. Later in 1968, the United Methodist Church blossomed from The Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist Church. We share connections today to the Wesleyan and Methodist bodies.

Here at Cicero United Methodist Church, we live into our denomination by: Loving God, Loving People, and Serving the World. CUMC loves God through worship, loves people by engaging in fellowship and discipleship, and serves the world with mission events, donation drives for local and international missions, and many other mission projects.
