OUR ELDERS

John has been married to Sarah since 1991, and they have been blessed with 9 children and one grandchild. He and his family have been attending Rock Valley Chapel since 2011. He is currently serving as the teacher for Adult Sunday School. He enjoys reading about archaeology and history, and often applies that to his Sunday School topics. His favorite passage of Scripture is Mark 9:24.

Donnie is married to Beth, father to three girls, and grandfather to seven. He has been a Rock Valley Chapel member for many years and has served on the Elder board. Donnie enjoys teaching Sunday School to the children, and working with the Awana program. He feels blessed to be able to preach occasionally. His heart’s desire is to be more like Jesus. To be a light for the gospel of Jesus Christ. My favorite verse is “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28, NKJV). God has shown me how He works with me, and how He has the best plan for my life when I follow Him. My prayer for the church is that everyone will be sanctified through reading and study of God’s word, and be the Light into the darkness as Jesus called us to be.

Warren Beckes has been married to his wife Patty for 40+ years. They have been blessed with 2 adult children. Warren is a Process Engineer at Taylor Company. He and Patty have been attending Rock Valley Chapel since 2004. He has enjoyed serving in different capacities over the years. God's Word continues to instruct and challenge his walk. To God be the glory.

Jeff Williams loves the Bible, which is the word of God to us through the hands of many men. As one is reading through the Bible we should be building our relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, getting to know them more personally. His favorite passages are Psalm 118, Ephesians 2:8-10, Proverbs 3:1-12. Jeff has a heart for Missions and has been on the RVC Missions Team for many years.
Jeff is married to Donette, and they love to travel around the country. They have lived in Beloit for over 35 years.
God has blessed them with a daughter, Bryanna, and son-in-law, Tyler Shear, and they have one grandchild.
Jeff was a member of Steamfitters and Pipefitters Local 601 for 31 years. He is now doing Operator Qualifications (OQ) work, training construction workers in the Natural Gas Industry.

Peter is married to Arlana and they have three grown children. He began attending RVC with his family shortly after the church was formed and has been active on the Elder Board. Peter’s greatest passion is to tell others how they can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and then to help them grow in that relationship. His favorite passage from the Bible is from Revelation 4:6-11 because it gives us a glimpse of what Heaven is like and how it would feel to be in the presence of God.
