Deacon Ministry

Deacons help us fulfill the mission of Jesus in three important ways:

  1. Deacons enable the pastors and elders to focus on the ministry of the Word & Prayer.
    Acts 6:2-7, Colossians 4:2-4
  2. Deacons make sure people don’t “fall through the cracks” with budget, building, and benevolence.
    Acts 6:1-2, James 1:26-2:9
  3. Deacons demonstrate the Gospel vividly by modeling servant leadership. Deacons are publicly recognized spiritual leaders who unlock doors, greet people, pray for people, and take out the trash.
    Mark 9:35, Mark 10:43

If you believe you are Biblically qualified, and you desire to work within the framework of this local congregation, please let us know!

We love it when women use their gifts to bless and serve others! Here are some of the ways you can engage:
