Deacons Ministries
The office of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. It is the duty of the deacons to minister both within and beyond the community of faith. The mission is to keep people connected with the fellowship of believers through:
- Prayer, seeking God’s help first
- Presence, or visitation
- Provision, tending to physical needs
