The office of Deacon, as set forth in Scripture, is one that calls for sympathy, witness and service. Following the example of Jesus, their primary responsibility is to minister to those in need within and beyond the community of faith.
The men and women who serve as Deacons are elected by the congregation, ordained and supervised by Session. They are guided by the Scriptures and their beliefs in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, to serve and minister to those who are in need. Deacons provide and oversee the pastoral care to the congregation in conjunction with the pastors, Stephen Ministers, staff and other church entities. Intentional pastoral care to the membership, from birth through death, strengthens the congregation in faith, commitment and compassion. The Board of Deacons meet monthly.
Deacons serve Communion during Worship and assist the pastors in serving the Lord’s Supper to homebound members.
The Board of Deacons is divided into three committees:
• Ongoing Care
• Immediate Care
• Congregational Hospitality
