The purpose of the Deacons’ Ministry is to serve the Lord and His Church by assisting the Pastor in meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the Church. Deacons are appointed and ordained by the Pastor. They assist by caring for the poor, the sick, the preparation and administration of the Ordinances; service of the Communion and Baptism; and in ministering to the spiritual interests of families in the Church and community. Jesus’ life is the model for the Deacon. In Mark 10:45, Jesus said, “I came not to be served, but to serve.” Deacons exist to serve God and the Church.

Every member of the congregation is assigned to a Deacon. If you need to talk with a church official you are encouraged to begin with the Deacon to whom you are assigned so he can direct you to the proper person(s). The membership has been assigned  by your last name as entered in the membership system.
