We’re really excited to be the senior pastors at RV Church! My wife, Ashley, and I have spent our whole lives in East Tennessee, and we truly believe there’s no place like home. We’re blessed with two awesome sons, Josiah and Levi, who are passionate about their faith and love supporting our family. We are rooted in faith, and we genuinely want others to experience the joy and security that comes from a relationship with Jesus. After more than ten years as youth pastors in this area, we have a heart for kids and teens of all ages.
Since joining RV Church in September 2024, we’ve been blown away by the love and support from this amazing community.
The RV Church family is warm, caring, and welcomes everyone, no matter your background or what your walk with God is like. We’d love for you to come check out RV Church and see for yourself, this is a really great church!
Hello !!!! Ruben and I are the youth pastors here at RVcog. We have served in children and youth ministry all our adult lives. We transferred to RV Church in March of 2023. We have two adult daughters: Pastor Marteena Drinnen-Rodríguez who serves at RV as the Children’s Pastor with her husband Taylor and Mareena Rodriguez who serves as Anointed’s Worship Leader and as a vocalist on RV’s Main Worship Team. We have a unique style and vision for Anointed Student Ministries. We do not age out our students nor do we separate our young people from their families. Our goal is to train up our young people into an Anointed Generation that will serve and lead the church, throughout their adult lives. We would like to welcome our youth starting in middle school, our young adults and their families to join Anointed Student Ministries on Friday’s starting at 6:30 pm for dinner, fellowship, activities and at 7:30 pm for Worship and the Word.
We will have been married one full year come this November. Our goal for the children of RV church is to instill the fundamental stories of our faith so that they can be adequately prepared for the next level of Anointed Student Ministries, and, most importantly, prepared for the ever changing world around them.
As we know, the world is becoming more and more hostile to our youth and especially towards the parental figures in our children’s lives. With that being said, we will always encourage parents and guardians of RV Kids to be involved in children’s lessons, whether that be to sit in during our classes or continue to assist by drilling in the lessons at home with our take home sheets provided after service each Sunday.
We are happy and blessed to be given the opportunity to instill teachings of God’s Word into the minds of the next generation.
We have been Happily Married for 3 years, and have working to build an amazing life together.
We started our journey at Raccoon Valley March of 2022, prior we have both been in church our entire lives. I (Elliott) have previously started my journey in ministry in Aug of 2010, when I was called to the Honor Academy (Teen Mania Ministries). Where I was called to lead this generation to LORD. My main focus is in technology at our Church where I do my best make everyones worship experience better than the last.
We also love a clean church and make it as sanitary as possible.
