Deacon
Family Ministry was started in January 2001 as an outreach to the
families of our church. Each of the active deacons takes responsibility
for discipline, nurturing, and assisting the active membership of
the church. This ministry is based on the responsibilities of deacons
as originally outlined in Acts 6. They were to care for the widows and
others needing assistance. Further information concerning this program
can be obtained by contacting the Chairman of Deacons.
Qualifications of Deacons are outlined in
Acts 6:1-6 &
1 Timothy 3:8-13.
Deacon signifies servant, and is so translated in
Matthew 23:11;
John 12:26.
Also translated minister.
Mark 10:43;
