Deacons
The ministry of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust polices or structures, or anyone in distress. Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, sincere compassion, and sound judgement should be chosen for this ministry.
(Book of Order G-2.0201)
September 2023 the Congregation voted to change the structure of deacons to serve along with the church’s pastor staff, as the primary pastoral caregivers of the congregation. All other duties will be assigned to session committees. It was also voted deacons would serve a one year term to begin Oct 1 and end September 30 the following year. We can install as many as 12 deacons and as few as 5 without term limits.
