Grace & Truth (Harrisonburg, Va.) RPC

Ryan Bever, pastor

Following the election of officers on Aug. 27, the mission plant of Grace & Truth was formally established as a congregation of the RPCNA in Harrisonburg, Va., on Oct. 1.

Pastor Ryan Bever was installed, Paul Martin (ruling elder) was installed, and Jonathan Bucher (ruling elder) was ordained and installed to constitute the session.

The sermon was delivered by Dr. Barry York, president of the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. A charge to the elders was given by Pastor Steve Bradley (Providence [Pittsburgh, Pa.] RPC) and a charge to the congregation was given by Pastor Jeff Stivason (Grace [Gibsonia, Pa.] RPC). A time of fellowship and refreshment followed the special service, with many visitors at-tending.

Prayers are requested for the work of the newly installed session and for provision of a permanent church building. The Lord has been most gracious to this little flock, and it is our desire to see the ministry of God’s Word continue to be proclaimed and God glorified in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
