ROP Elders
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings and one who will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers – not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 1 Peter 5:1-3
Below is a list of the members of the Rites of Passage Board of Elders. The Board is responsible to discern the purpose of the ministry, and provide vision, direction, spiritual oversight, systems and structure.
