DEACON

DEACON MINISTRY

Our Deacons are ordained lay people who partner with you in prayer and praise through the circumstances and seasons of your life. Deacons will encourage and support you in times of loss, grief, illness, or hardship, and will celebrate with you in times of rejoicing. We do this by extending care in both prayerful and tangible ways: 

We support and comfort families in time of illness and death   We offer spiritual support during life transitions and family crisis   We share in the joys of our congregation   We pray for the personal needs of the congregation   

"Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”(Hebrews 10: 24)

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11
