Untitled Document Lay Leadership - Deacons Deacons, in the Disciples of Christ tradition, are supporting, nurturing leaders of the church. At South Hills, our deacons fill that role in a variety of ways. Deacons are servants of the church.
Deacons are officers of the church.
Part of the work of the church is to help members grow into the role of deacon by providing education and support. South Hills provides biblical and spiritual training on what it means to be a deacon. There is practical training on how to prepare the elements and to serve communion at the Lord's Table.
