Russ & Becky Stellmach

I have been attending Lebanon Valley Bible Church since I was in 6th grade. Being raised in a Christian family, we always regularly attended church service, but was never involved in Sunday school or church activities. It was not until my junior year in high school, when I started dating my future wife, Becky, that I realized that I was missing something. That is when I placed my trust and faith in Jesus Christ, and accepted His gift of salvation.

Becky and I were married in 2004, by Pastor Ober. Throughout the years attending LVBC we have been involved in nursery, and more recently the Awana program. It has been amazing to see his patience and love He has poured out on our family. We have two beautiful daughters, Mackenzie and Lucy.

One of my favorite verses speaks of the hope he has given each one of us who have accepted Him as their savior.

Romans 5: Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
