Board
of Deacons |

The office of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy, witness , and service after the example of Jesus Christ. Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, of exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, warm sympathies, and sound judgment should be chosen for this office. Book of Order G-6.0400 |

The Board of deacons performs a ministry of compassion, care and concern for the Church's parishioners and assists in an outreach of compassion, care and concern within the community. Deacons visit shut-in and elderly parishioneres with gifts and flowers from the Church; distribute holiday, birthday and other occasion remembrances, visit parishioners who are ill or in the hospital and comfort parishioners in distress. In addition to regular calls and visites, Deacons respond whenever made aware of special needs within the congregation or community. The Board of Deacons also administers specific programs to assist parishioners who require special public transportation to church events, and a fund to provide educatinal scholarships to parishioners. The work of the Deacons is not funded in the Church budget but rather through periodic designated collections from the congregation, bequests and gifts. Deacon Earle Howey |
