FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
Deacon's Ministry
The Deacon Ministry is comprised of 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 and serves as the adjunct to the Pastorate, aiding in counseling, prayer and support of the entire membership. Deacons serve as members of the Official Board of the Church.
