The Deacons are to be witnesses for God as He has revealed Himself in the Bible and supremely in Jesus Christ, in our families, our relationships, our metropolitan community, toward the end of persuading persons to become disciples of Jesus Christ and responsible members of His church. It is the duty of deacons to support and love the Pastor, to pray for him fervently, and to manifest a tender regard for his reputation. The deacon is expected to support the ministries of the church and to actively participate in worship and bible study. The ministry of the Deaconess shall be to give support to the Pastor and the Deacons Ministry in carrying out duties in relationship to increasing the level of spirituality of the congregation, improvement of worship, expansion of Christian service and promotion of the general welfare of the church. To attain this goal, the Deaconess should actively participate in worship, prayer services, bible study, evangelism projects, and any other opportunity that develops the spiritual life of the church.
Deaconess are servants whose primary function is the care of the laity.
In partnership with the Pastor and Deacons Ministry, the Deaconess Ministry should be one of reconciliation and of caring that is permeated throughout the entire congregation. The Deaconess should stay willing and challenged to follow God's leading to provide a unique leadership presence when needed.
