Deacon Ministry

Partners in Ministry and Growth

So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them, and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."

Acts 6:2-4

Our deacon ministry seeks to follow the biblical example established by the early disciples as Spirit-filled men were chosen and set aside to be servant partners with the pastors. Deacons assist the pastors and staff in all areas of ministry, service, support, and leadership to the family of God, with particular emphasis on ministry to the widows of our church. Deacons are assisted in their ministry by a Yokefellow selected by each individual deacon.
