Deacons

The Deacon Ministry comprises a faithful assembly of God’s servants appointed by the Pastor. Members serve under the leadership and spiritual direction of the Pastor and are loyal to him and the church in prayer, support, encouragement, and fellowship. The ordinances of the Baptist Church are Holy Communion and Baptism, and the Deacons assist the Pastor in carrying out these ordinances. Consistent connection between the Pastor and the congregation is the key to growth, peace, and harmony within the church, and this ministry accomplishes this goal with the “Family Watch Care” ministry. This intra-congregational ministry connects each individual and family member of the church with a Deacon. It serves as an adjunct to the Pastorate, aiding in counseling, prayer, and support for the entire membership. Deacons serve as members of the Official Board of the Church.
