Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?”
Then I said,
'Here I am. Send me!'

ELDER
EXECUTIVE PASTOR
FOUNDER OF MISSION RIDGE BIBLE CHURCH
Vance@missionridgebiblechurch.com
As an Elder I work alongside the other Elders to lead the church, preach the gospel, support the Pastor, pray for the church body, encourage them in sound doctrine and protect them from false teachers.
As Executive Pastor I manage day-to-day operations of the church and provide general oversight for all ministry efforts. I’m responsible for directing the staff, the membership process, and future ministry planning and development.
I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ in 2003. God has been disciplining, refining & challenging me ever since. Beginning in 2021 He put my spiritual life on an unimaginable growth trajectory for His glory as He uprooted my wife and I from our home, landed us in Chelan County, then opened every door for me to serve Him by helping establish this church.
“FOR I DETERMINED TO KNOW NOTHING AMONG YOU EXCEPT JESUS CHRIST, AND HIM CRUCIFIED.”

I support the church through doctrinal teaching, prayer, discernment, financial oversight and community engagement. My goal is a restoration of the apostolic doctrines characteristic of the early church described in the Book of Acts
I was raised Catholic but came to saving faith in Christ as an adult. The Lord continues to guide my path as I’ve watched the growing apostasy and the church drift away from the apostolic faith. He has shown me that true obedience is through membership in a Bible Preaching-Bible Teaching church. It has to start with the knowledge of God and that can only happen with a church that faithfully preaches the full counsel of His word
“Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.”

The other elders and I work to exhort the saints in sound doctrine, pray and teach and preach the Word. We guide the church in theology. I am also responsible for our weekly church service technical production and our livestream broadcast.
I was invited by friends to Catholic youth events in middle school. I was attending youth group and mass by the time I was 16 and went through the RCIA process. I was baptized and confirmed Catholic in 2013. A year later I was running as far and as fast as I could from my faith after a close friend’s tragic death. Christ called me back to Him August 2, 2017 while I was in a medically induced coma at Harborview Medical Center. I began seeking my faith six weeks later and have experienced many blessings since.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for
training in righteousness; “

I wear a few different hats for our church, from weekly worship music production, planning and leading weekly children’s church to managing our communication architecture, including website development, social media presence, all internal communications
The Lord took my life and set my course to be his servant at 10 years old. I have walked a journey of trusting the Lord in all that I have done, though not easy. He is the author of my life and all I desire is to serve him each day with all I have. I was blessed to attend Biola University where my belief, and complete dependency on the Lord through all things was built on a solid foundation to face all the trials of this world
“Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness”
