Meet The Pastor

The Bluff Church Staff
Co-Pastors Doug Osborn & Dave Elledge
In the spring of 2010, Doug Osborn and Dave Elledge began to talk and pray about planting a new church in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. They knew that Poplar Bluff didn’t need another church, but perhaps it needed a different kind of church. So they, along with their wives, began meeting and praying about the vision that God had planted in their hearts. The name of the new church was determined to be The Bluff Church. In the summer of 2010 they began to meet with a small group of about 23 people who had a similar vision for Poplar Bluff. 
 On September 12, 2010, with a vision to be a church for people who have given up on church, and through the time and sacrificial giving of the core group, The Bluff Church launched. 
Our mission is to simply Love God & Love People. 
Church can get really complicated. Our belief is that it should be simple. Concentrate on the important stuff and don’t make it hard for people to fit in.
