Who We Are

Our Elders

Grace & Truth is a part of the denomination known as the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA). As a denomination, we believe in the importance of having a plurality of elders in every church. We distinguish the function of these elders between teaching and ruling elders, though all elders serve in the church as shepherds of the congregation with equal authority. Grace & Truth currently has one teaching elder, Ryan Bever (our pastor), and two ruling elders, Paul Martin and Jonathan Bucher. In addition, we also have another ruling elder from another church, David Merkel, who currently helps to assist the congregation from a distance. As we welcome you to our church we encourage you to get to know our elders. If you want to learn more about a Biblical view of the eldership, Pastor Ryan Bever recently preached a series of sermons on Presbyterian Church Government in his series on the book of Titus, which you can listen to by clicking on the following link: https://www.graceandtruthrpc.org/sermons/?wpfc_sermon_topics=presbyterian-church-government
