BENNY MATE
Hey there!
I’m Benny —a creative artist and leader who’s passionate about telling meaningful stories and building things that last. Creativity has been part of my life since childhood, whether I was sketching in a notebook, making videos, or playing music. Over time, those passions grew into purpose.
I studied design and video production at Communications Arts High School, and since then, I’ve worked at the intersection of media and ministry. I started as a graphic designer, then stepped into leadership as the Student Ministries Director at First Baptist Church in Illinois. In that role, I led a growing team, built out creative strategies, and helped shape a ministry culture rooted in authenticity and connection.
Today, I serve on the production team at Mission City Church in San Antonio, where I help lead video production, support content development, and collaborate across departments to bring ideas to life. Whether I’m directing a shoot, editing a story, or coaching a team, I’m driven by a desire to serve with excellence and elevate the people around me.
I believe great creative work doesn’t just inspire—it leads. And I’m committed to doing both.
