Every member of Fellowship Bible Church is considered a part of its staff since the Bible indicates that every believer is a priest unto God (1 Peter 2:9) and responsible for ministry to others.  Though some of our members hold seminary degrees, this in no way sets them apart as more spiritual or capable of fruitful ministry than others who live their lives under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

However, upon visiting Fellowship Bible Church, one will probably notice certain individuals as more visible for the roles they play in the functioning of the church's daily life.  Below you will find a brief introduction to some these:

The Elders

The New Testament employs three basic terms in describing those entrusted with the leadership of the local church.  In contemporary language these terms have come to be translated as elder, overseer, and pastor (shepherd).  The words are used interchangeably in the New Testament and refer to those men who are mature in the faith and are willing to stand on the front lines of the battle for the faith and see to the welfare of the church.  Being an elder, or pastor, was not considered a profession in the early church.  Just as the elders generally worked other jobs for their daily livelihood, so each of our elders works at a job outside the church.  The Scriptures indicate that there was generally a plurality of elders in each local church.  At Fellowship Bible Church we presently have four elders.

Terry Manahan was saved by the grace of God in 1970 during his high school years in Lancaster County, PA.  Along with his wife Ruby and their three children, he first became involved with FBC in January 1993.  Terry has been an elder of FBC since 1996 and carries on the ministry of teaching and overseeing the administration of the church.  You will generally see Terry ministering the Word during the 11:00 service each Sunday morning.  Besides his ministry at FBC, Terry works as a social worker for the Harnett County Department of Social Services.

John McClamroch met Jesus as his Savior in 1978 and has tried to serve the Lord any way possible since that time. He came to FBC early in its inception. His first ministry was as the teacher of the teen Sunday School class before becoming an elder in 1988. John is employed as a sales representative with a tool company based in Louisiana.  John and his wife, Debbie, have two children and three grandchildren.

Vince Grassi came to know Jesus as his personal Savior in 1987.  He and his wife Karen with their five children came to FBC in 1991.  Vince has participated in various ministries at FBC over the years and became an elder in 2008.  You will normally see Vince every Sunday morning playing his guitar with the praise band.  Vince works as an automobile mechanic.

David Carson was saved while a college student in 1973 and has served in various ministries through the years.  He and his wife Pam came to FBC in 2003.  David became an elder in 2008.  You will see him leading the praise group and doing most of the teaching in the adult learning center.  David works as a piano tuner and piano teacher.  He and Pam have three children and seven grandchildren.
