Pastor Iljin Cho, M.Div. Counseling Intern, Unbound Leader, Training Program Asst. Professor
TILBC Elder Part of the culture of TILBC is our confidence in the Word of God to address all matters of life and faith. While in seminary, Pastor Iljin was surprised to discover that psychology has replaced biblical counseling in the pastoral care courses. He connected with Pastor Warren and began his journey to become equipped to apply God's all-sufficient Word as he shepherds in a local church fellowship.
Pastor Iljin is the second instructor students experience in our Training Program as they learn that "properly interpreted Scripture properly applied" is our primary tool for discipleship and soul-care. |
Elders
Our elders are men who have come together from separate fellowships and have joined together to provide the Biblical Oversight and Direction the Truth in Love Fellowship needs in order to thrive and remain faithful to God's Word and the principles of authentic Christian witness. These men are all experienced in ministry and church leadership and provide spiritual and strategic oversight for TILBC. Well anchored in Scripture, they ensure our mission stays aligned with our evangelical foundations and gospel focus. They guide us with wisdom and hold us accountable to God’s Word.
