Deacons
We have seventeen deacons who work diligently to see that the various works of the church are carried out faithfully and productivily. They are varied in their gifts and passions, so each one works directly with one or two ministries in particular. They meet regularly with the elders and work as a whole for the overarching purpose and good of the church. We thank God for these servant-hearted brothers!
