In the New Testament, God ordained the office of elder, for the purpose of ruling and governing individual churches.  At the Lebanon BFC, we have 14 elders, who are chosen by the membership of the church and are entrusted with the responsibility of making the everyday decisions in the life of our congregation.

From left to right, our elders are: (top row) Bruce I. Althouse, Michael L. Herb, Leroy O. Herb, Rev. Calvin T. Reed, (middle row) Pastor David E. Brandt, David L. Herb, David H. Ritchie, John L. English, Ralph W. Bechtel, (bottom row) Ellis L. Hostetter, Rev. LeRoy S. Heller, Jack S. Herb, Jr., and Frederick P. Solesky.  (Not pictured: Jeffrey S. Gehman)
