Randville Bible Church (Iron Mountain, MI) 
Three very faithful long-time elders of Randville Bible Church went to their eternal rewards in recent years. These men are greatly missed; we are thankful for their many years of service to the fellowship. 

• Bob Pollock was one of the first victims of COVID some years back. For many years, Bob served as an elder, Bible teacher, and at times pastor of the fellowship here at Randville as well as at other churches. 
• Larry Rusch met his Savior face to face in October 2024. Larry was a long time elder, leader, teacher, treasurer of RBC. His family was very influential in the early beginnings of Randville Bible Church when it began in the 1930's. 
• Ken Pollock entered his heavenly home in November 2025. His quiet leadership and practical maintenance and repair skills were an important part of the ongoing of the work at Randville.
