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 13 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.

Our elders are (from left to right):  (Top row) Bruce I. Althouse, Rev. David E. Brandt, Rev. Calvin T. Reed, John L. English, David H. Ritchie. (Middle row) Ralph W. Bechtel, Jack S. Herb, Jr., Ellis L. Hostetter, David L. Herb, Rev. LeRoy S. Heller. (Bottom row) Michael L. Herb, Eric E. Herb, Jeffrey S. Gehman, and Greg E. Gray.
