Deacon Ministry

This Ministry serves as advisors to the Pastor in the welfare of the Church; assists in serving the Lord’s Supper and the ordinance of baptism; and provides leadership for other Church ministries. Deacons provide leadership and serve the Church family by visiting the sick, caring for members of the Church and the community.

Each Deacon must have a rapport with God; be convicted, redeemed, spirit filled, and baptized by immersion. He must also be conversant with the Holy Bible and be a sincere worshipper with an active prayer life. The Deacon must set examples of Christian living.

New members are selected by a committee of the Deacon Ministry and are voted upon by the Church. In addition to the Pastor, Deacons are the only ordained members of the Church.
