Meet the Leadership of BRBC
Leadership is a service, not a privledge. Scripture teaches that the leaders of a local church (called Elders) should be worthy, humble men of blameless character who are able to rightly handle God's Word. Our Elders are eager to equip you to know God, to grow in his grace, to connect you to our church family, and to mobilize you to serve our city in Jesus name.
