Mission: “To share Jesus with the non-Christian in Merced County with love and genuine friendship.”
Simply put, Lao Evangelical Church to facilitate the advance of God’s kingdom through His people. The church is the collective of mature Christians, new Christians, and non-Christians in messy pursuit of meaning, beauty, etc. Jesus is the central person and His Gospel is the central tenet.

Elders / Seniors
Jesus calls qualified men to lead his church as elders, whom we also call pastors. Qualifications for eldership are found in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, and include leading their families well, a record of serving Jesus well both in the church and in everyday life, a thorough knowledge of the Bible and a mature Christian walk, and a good reputation both in and out of the church. The primary duties of elders include praying and studying Scripture, leading the vision of the church, caring for the people of the church, teaching, living lives that are exemplary, protecting the people of the church from false doctrine and teachers, and developing other leaders.
