Our Elders

Two Rivers Bible Church is an elder-led church, which means a team of spiritually mature leaders prayerfully guides the direction, teaching, and care of our church family. Our elders serve as shepherds — protecting, teaching, encouraging, and helping our church stay faithful to God’s Word.

They work closely with our pastor, ministry staff, and support volunteers to make sure everything we do reflects the heart of Jesus and the mission He’s given us.

Our elders are committed to:

  • Guarding the doctrine and biblical teaching of our church

  • Shepherding the congregation with wisdom, prayer, and compassion

  • Supporting and encouraging the pastor and ministry teams

  • Leading with humility, integrity, and servant-hearted leadership

At Two Rivers, the elders don’t just make decisions — they care for people. They pray, they listen, they guide, and they help our church grow in spiritual health.

We’re grateful for each elder who gives their time, their heart, and their lives to shepherd this church family.
