Manahawkin Baptist church elder board

Meet our elders

Scripture teaches that the local church is to be governed by a Board of Elders subject to the ultimate authority of Christ and Scripture (Acts 14.23).  Elders, who serve at the appointment of the congregation, share leadership and are organized as an Elder Board.  The Elders govern the operation and ministries of Manahawkin Baptist Church.

Contact the Elder Board via email: the_elders@manahawkinchurch.org

My family and I began attending MBC in 2007 after moving to the area.  We have enjoyed raising our children in the loving and nurturing environment that exists within MBC.  God's church is made of people, not programs or buildings, and the relationships we have made while serving alongside people here at MBC have been a blessing to me and my family.  It has been my pleasure to serve on the elder board as well as to be a part of some of the short term missions over the past 19 years, and children's ministry.

God, in His great mercy, opened my heart to the gospel at a young age. 

Years later He has brought me into a position of leadership here at MBC. My prayer is that

I will serve Him well, leading with love, and helping others to come to Christ and to grow in faith. I also pray that we will join together at MBC and work towards what is valuable in Jesus sight.
