    FVBC Senior Pastor

    Email Me

    Pastor Ben(jie) Pearce started serving as Sr. Pastor at Fuquay Baptist in March of 2022.

    Ben grew up at Fuquay Baptist. The joke is that all the major spiritual events of his life took place within a 15 foot circle. He was saved at FVBC, baptized at FVBC, preached his first sermon at FVBC, met his wife at FVBC, married his wife at FVBC, dedicated his children at FVBC, ordained as a deacon and a minister at FVBC. So to be able to pastor his home church is truly a blessing. Ben graduated from N.C. State with an undergrad in Economics before receiving his Masters from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. In addition, he is presently working on his DMin in Apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Matthews, N.C. Pastor Ben served in several staff positions at Fuquay Baptist Church for eight years before God moved him to Baptist Grove Baptist Church. He pastored at Baptist Grove for 12 years before God called him back to Fuquay-Varina Baptist Church.

    Ben's wife, Renee graduated from The University of North Carolina with a degree in Math Education. Through God’s grace and Renee’s gentle spirit, they have been married since August 1994. God has blessed them with three children. Daniel is currently a PhD Candidate at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in Biomedical Engineering. Nicole is a working on her master’s in Speech Therapy at East Carolina University. Nate is an freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ben and Renee also have a boxer dog named Jackie that is dearly loved. Ben loves working, working out, and teaching and preaching God’s Word.

  • Molly Little

    WEECare Director

    Email Me

    My name is Molly Little and I am honored to serve as your WEECare director. My journey at Fuquay-Varina Baptist Church began as a member in March of 2022. My sons and I were looking for a new church family and we were truly blessed to have found Fuquay-Varina Baptist Church and Pastor Ben. When my youngest son started preschool at WEECare in August of 2022 I saw there was a need for a parent representative on the church’s WEECare committee. Joining the committee led me closer to the WEECare ministry and I was shown how truly special this ministry is. It was strongly laid on my heart to offer my services when the position of Director became available. The WEECare ministry and Fuquay-Varina Baptist Church had done so much for my family that I wanted to give back however I could. I was raised right here in Fuquay-Varina and always knew I wanted to make teaching my profession. After graduating from Meredith College with a degree in Child Development and Elementary Education Licensure, I was in the field of education. For ten years I was a preschool teacher at SAS Institute before starting a family in 2015. I am the mama of two handsome, sweet full-of-life boys; Finley and Rhett who are my whole world. After being a stay-at-home mom for a few years I changed my career path and headed into real estate in 2019. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my boys, family, and friends, going to the beach, and doing projects around my home. I am so glad that you have found your way to WEECare and I hope you too can experience how special this ministry is.

    WEECare Assistant Director

    Email Me

    Hello! My name is Jessica Nazar. I am originally from Miami, FL and moved to Fuquay-Varina 17 years ago. I have served at WEECare for over 11 years and have loved being part of this family of believers. I am an active member of the Spanish congregation here at Fuquay Baptist and its where I met my best friend and husband, Kenrick Nazar. I serve alongside my father, Dr. Leo Guerrero, who is the Associate/ Hispanic Pastor.

    My love for childcare comes from my summers working in missions in Guatemala, Cuba, and Chile. This experience had provoked me to study Early Childhood Education at Wake Tech and Mt. Olive University and has since allowed me to serve as an Assistant Teacher, Lead Teacher, Children’s Ministry Director, and currently as Assistant Director at WEECare. When I’m not at work, you will find me surrounded by family alongside my loving husband, foster kids, 3 dogs, chickens, and bunnies! I enjoy my little homestead and I love my busy life, but I love Jesus most of all. I’m so blessed to work in an environment where I get to share His love. I have known these teachers for many years and have seen first hand the love and dedication they pour into these children every day. Our drive here at WEECare is Jesus and only Jesus. He is the fuel that keeps this location working, loving and growing.
