We are truly blessed to have a team of dedicated elders who are committed to serving our church community with love, wisdom, and humility. As shepherds of our congregation, our elders play a crucial role in providing spiritual guidance, pastoral care, and godly leadership. They strive to align all aspects of church life with biblical principles, ensuring that our community grows in faith and unity.
Biblical Role of Elders
Our elders take seriously the biblical mandate to shepherd the flock with care and diligence. As stated in 1 Peter 5:2-3, they are called to "shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock." Through their example and instruction, our elders seek to encourage spiritual maturity and Christ-like living among our members.
Committed to Your Spiritual Well-being
Our elders are always available to answer any questions you may have, provide wise counsel, or offer prayer and support, especially in times of need. Whether you're facing a personal challenge, seeking spiritual guidance, or have concerns about church matters, our elders are here to listen and help. James 5:14 encourages, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." Our elders are committed to praying with and for you, standing with you in faith for God’s work in your life.
Open and Approachable
At Bethany Bible Chapel, we believe that meaningful relationships are built on trust and open communication. Our elders are approachable and welcome the opportunity to connect with you. Feel free to reach out to any of our elders directly through the contact links provided below, or approach them in person before or after our services. As Hebrews 13:17 reminds us, they "keep watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account." Your spiritual growth and well-being are our highest priority, and we are here to walk alongside you in your journey of faith.
A Heart to Serve
Guided by the Holy Spirit, our elders are committed to serving with integrity, compassion, and humility. They endeavor to reflect the servant leadership of Jesus Christ, who said in Mark 10:45, "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." It is their honor and privilege to serve the Bethany Bible Chapel family, and they are dedicated to fostering a loving and nurturing environment where everyone can experience God's grace and grow in their relationship with Him.
Please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to getting to know you, supporting you, and growing together in faith as a community committed to Jesus Christ.
