DEACON MINISTRY

A ministry of ordinances, watchcare, worship, finance, training, teaching, spiritual examples and growth. The purpose of the deacon’s ministry is to work in close consultation and cooperation with the pastor in baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The deacon ministry strives to keep unity and peace among members; visit the sick and shut-ins; call and visit members to keep them informed of church activities and opportunities.

The role of a deacon is to lead an exemplary life and uphold the doctrines, teachings, and practices of the church. The deacon ministry’s central interest is the spiritual and physical well being of the church family.

Deacon’s Pledge

We pledge ourselves as duly elected deacons of the Baptist Church. Our firm commitment is to work toward the attainment of excellence in the fulfillment of our assigned ministry. We see ourselves as servants of Jesus Christ and lay assistants to the pastor. Our efforts will be for the general welfare and spiritual well being of our respected church families. We promise to never become a hindrance to the pastor or to see ourselves as his superior but we are chosen to pray for him and with him and to be deacons who uphold the pastor’s arms.
