MISSION STATEMENT:  Responsible for administering to the physical and spiritual needs of the congregation, promoting spiritual growth of the membership and the community, and equipping all members for the work of the ministry.  A group of deeply dedicated, friendly, outgoing Christian men who care about all of God’s people, Deacons are ready to respond in any area of life, but especially in case of sickness, family problems, death of loved ones, or times of special joy, offering Christian friendship and support and notifying the Pastor when there is a particular need for pastoral care.

BRIEF HISTORY:  New Testament Deacons serve the Lord by conducting the caring ministry of the church — doing the benevolence work, visiting the sick, being alert to the spiritual needs of the congregation — for the purposes of freeing the pastoral staff to focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word, promoting unity within the church, and facilitating the spread of the gospel.

MISSION STATEMENT: The Mission of the Deaconess Ministry is to assist the Pastor and Deacon Ministry in the spiritual work of the church. We are laywomen commissioned to ministries of love and service. Consecrated by the church, we serve the congregation and the community in a variety of   settings. We aid the Pastor and Deacons in areas so designated by them such as preparation of Communion, Baptism, Visiting the sick and shut-in, counseling, mentoring women, and evangelism.   Affirmed of   being called by God, committed to Christ, and dedicated to His commission, we strive to  become fully, “Titus” women as   written in  Titus 2:3-5.

BRIEF HISTORY: The Bible gives early history of the  organization of Deaconess.  Although the word Deaconess does not appear in the Bible, it is a fact that women served in the church in   various capacities during that era.   In Paul’s letter to Timothy, second chapter, he spoke of the women who should pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting, who should adorn themselves in modest      apparel. He further makes mention of Phoebe in his writings, who was a servant of the church in Cenchrea.  The formal  organization of Deaconesses in churches began in 1823.
