Our Elders
At SonRise Christian Fellowship Fallbrook, our elders serve as spiritual shepherds, faithfully guiding our church with wisdom, prayer, and deep commitment to God’s Word. These devoted leaders are called to oversee the spiritual health of the congregation, offering counsel, teaching, and encouragement as they help lead the church in alignment with the heart of Christ. Grounded in humility and integrity, our elders work closely with the pastoral team to ensure that every decision reflects biblical truth and the love of Jesus.
Whether they’re praying over the sick, mentoring fellow believers, or helping navigate important ministry directions, the elders at SonRise are servant leaders through and through. They take their responsibility seriously—not as a position of power, but as a sacred calling to care for God’s people. With hearts full of love for the church and a desire to see lives transformed, our elders are a steady source of strength, unity, and spiritual leadership in the life of our fellowship.
