As part of our Family Meeting on Sunday, September 27, at 4:30 p.m., Members will reaffirm the following Elder and Deacons for another two-year term of service.
Elder
Harry Clement
Testimony: I was not raised in a Christian home. I heard the gospel for the first time in high school but was not interested at that time. At the age of 19, after my first year of college, I trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior and was baptized six months later. While going through significant difficulties in my life, Jesus became more and more precious to me. His Word was my comfort and guided my path. I am continuing to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.
My wife Vicki and I have been married for 25 years and share five children and eight grandchildren. We have been members of Heritage Bible Church for 21 years. I am a retired business owner of Clement Custom Doors and now work for my sons.
Ministry Involvement:
- Elder
- Shepherding Group Leader
- Elective Teacher
- Host Ministry
Deacons
Brian Burch
Testimony: I was saved as a child. God blessed me with Godly parents and an education with a biblical worldview. By His grace, I have had the honor of serving the Lord and others in many ways and situations over the years. As I have grown in Christ, the two seemingly simple commandments found in Mark 12:30-31 to love God and to love others as yourself have become increasingly rich and deep to me.
Deacon of AVL & Technology: The Deacon of AVL & Technology serves the church by assisting the Executive Pastor and Director of Congregational Singing in the procurement, maintenance, and use of Heritage’s IT and AVL infrastructure. He provides on-site leadership to the Lord’s Day Gathering AVL team to ensure an excellent, distraction-free environment.
John Grove
Testimony: I was blessed to grow up in a godly Christian home and learn at an early age what Christ had done for me on the cross. At the age of 5, I accepted Christ as my Savior after a Sunday school lesson on heaven and hell, and subsequently talking with my parents that afternoon about my need for salvation. Later in life I struggled with doubts about my conversion, and God made it clear to me that my doubts were not because I wasn’t a believer, but because I had been living with hidden sin in my life. After making things right, confessing my sin to God, and getting counsel from my parents and pastor, God gave me the peace that comes with being reconciled to Him. After college, I met my wife Amber while working at Red Cliff Bible Camp in Pinedale, Wyoming. In 2015 I moved to Greenville, got married, and joined HBC.
Deacon of Facilities: The Deacon of Facilities serves the church body by assisting in the maintenance and care of Heritage’s buildings and grounds. He helps ensure the building and grounds are safe for members and guests during church events and gatherings.
Peter Selby
Testimony: I was saved at the age of 4. My parents had the opportunity to lead me and my older brother to Jesus on the same evening after we’d both heard several Sunday school lessons about salvation. While I don’t remember all of the details of that day, my assurance is in the promises of Jesus Christ that He has saved me by grace through faith alone–not in any specific details of anything I did that day, or even in my complete comprehension of the gospel at that time. I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home. We began attending HBC in 1990 where I had the privilege of hearing the Word under Pastor Conley, then Danny Brooks, and now Trent Hunter. Now a family of four, we are excited about the continued opportunities for growth at HBC.
Deacon of Ordinances: The Deacon of Ordinances serves the church by overseeing the preparation of the Lord’s Supper and baptism. He organizes additional volunteers as needed to ensure preparations are made with excellence, allowing the Elders to focus on their role in the ordinances.
