Deacons

The word deacon is a Greek word (deaconos) that means "servant." In a church, the Deacons are official servants of the body. While we are all called to be servants - deacons take on specific administrative/ministerial roles in the body. The Bible does not specify what these roles are to be - just that they are to serve in partnership with the elders. So, as a body, we have defined the following roles as vital for the day to day funtioning of our body:

Specific roles:

1. Finances: overseeing the budget and expenses of the church
2. Facilities: overseeing the weekly maintenance, cleaning, and running of our facility
3. Benevolence: taking care of our body when specific needs arise (e.g., financial)

Each role will be spearheaded by a Deacon and each Deacon will get others in the body involved in carrying out these important ministries. The specific roles may grow in the future as needs arise and the Elders (Shepherding Team) deem appropriate.
