At Lincoln Road Bible Chapel, the leadership plays an important role in both overseeing the direction of the church and in praying and caring for individuals as we work to be a caring and outward looking community. LRBC is led by a leadership team of elders who have been appointed to the role with the approval of the wider church. This team takes collective responsibility for major decision-making and leading, while our pastor is employed by the church to take responsibility for day-to-day leadership and for taking part in more pastoral care and organizational tasks.
Our Sunday morning sermons are given by a range of gifted individuals from the church, both young and old. A finance and admin committee looks after the church budget and maintenance matters.
Feel free to get in touch, whether just to say hello, or if you have any questions or concerns. Here’s how to contact LRBC.
