Deacons
If we were to make a distinction between elders and deacons, it would be that deacons seem to be more of a servant-leader while elders are teaching-leaders. Elders are held to the qualification “able to teach” (1 Timothy 3:2) while deacons are not. The title “deacon” comes from the Greek word for “servant.”This points to their role as servants, as pictured in Acts 6:1-7. So the responsibilities of a deacon will vary depending on the church. All the Bible specifically states concerning their responsibilities is that they are to be servant-leaders.
The Deacons also manage the parking lots during services or special events. The Deacons proactive presence in the parking lot has prevented countless auto thefts and vandalism. To be a part of this ministry, you must be appointed by, our pastor.They serve as church leaders, but are also called to be servants. A deacon is someone who has exemplified a strong commitment to the work of the ministry.
If there is something on campus that you see that needs to be fixed and may be beyond your fixing, please feel free to speak with anyone of our deacons.
