Community Bible Church of Pevely is committed to the Bible’s teaching that men who hold the office of elder and deacon are to oversee various functions of our church. (I Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9)
Elders
The scriptures show that the elders serve by leading and that their responsibility involves the spiritual oversight of the congregation. All elders are equal in authority but not necessarily equal in influence.
The elders’ primary responsibilities include ensuring that the doctrine of the church is biblical, confirming the direction of the church aligns with Community Bible Church of Pevely’s Statements of Doctrinal Faith and Constitution, and administering the process of church discipline in love and humility.
Meet our elders!

Senior Pastor
The Community Bible Church of Pevely’s Senior Pastor automatically serves as an elder and, because of his public presence and responsibility before the congregation, may be considered first among equals as a member of the Elder Board. The Senior Pastor primarily leads the church by preaching and teaching.
Meet our senior pastor, Dennis Rudanovich. He and his wife, Daina Rudanovich, have been serving our church for over 40 years.
Deacons
The Bible teaches that deacons lead by serving. The qualifications for elders and deacons are the same regarding an individual’s character, but they differ in aptitude. (I Timothy 2:8-13; Acts 6:1-6)
