  • Rudi O'Neal - ELDER

    Rudi O’Neal was born in Germany in July 1963, came to the USA in 1970 , grew up in the San Jose Bay area, was born again in May 1980, and married his wife Caroline in 1984. They have 2 children who, by God’s grace, serve the Lord. Rudi and Caroline have 3 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. They moved to Lake County in 1997 and began attending MBC sometime in 1999 after visiting many other churches in the area. Rudi committed his family to attending MBC and never looked back. Rudi served as a deacon for many years and in 2015 became an elder. Rudi loves to hear the testimonies of how the Lord revealed Himself to fellow believers. His favorite preacher is CH Spurgeon. His greatest desire is to hear the Lord say, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”

  • Erroll Marchais - Elder

    Erroll was born August of 1971 and was not raised in a Christian home, but came to Christ in the early 2000’s.  He has been a small business owner since 1995 in the IT industry and has become co-owner of Center Stage Studios in 2022 with his wife, Jeanette, of 30 years.  Erroll became an Elder at MBC in 2019, 6 years after moving his family from Southern California in the Summer of 2013.  Under the teaching of Pastor Doug Thompson, Erroll has been growing in his understanding of the doctrines of grace and reformed theology which has expanded his understanding of God and His sovereignty in all things, especially salvation.  Erroll’s greatest desire is to see the local church proclaim and reflect the glory of Christ as they grow in unity, love for one another and in their witness to a lost and hopeless world.

  • Jeremy WIlson - Deacon

    Jeremy was married to his wife Lori in 1983 and started attending MBC in November of 2018.  They were both baptized in 2019 and have been learning and growing in Christ ever since.  Jeremy is currently working in the industrial refrigeration industry, but always has time to lend a hand.  Jeremy and Lori have faithfully been managing the church grounds since 2020 and serve the Body of Christ in many ways on Sunday, including preparing the Lords Table, Ushering and just being super happy to see you.
