Deacon ministry continues to adapt to cultural, time–poor families and deacons, varying community and church needs and the unique calling and gifting of God’s servants. Historically deacons have moved from administrators and budget managers in the 50's and 60's to various and increasing degrees of servant leadership in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

The transition from, or blending of, administration and management to servant ministry is an ongoing challenge for most churches and deacons. As the church enters the 21st century it is increasingly evident that the spiritual leadership role of deacons and church will be needed more than ever.

We hereby acknowledge our tasks to include:

Proclaiming the Gospel to believers and unbelievers

Caring for the church’s members and other persons in the community

Leading the church in the achievement of its mission.
