Deacons
God's method by which the church of Jesus Christ has moved forward down through the centuries is that God selected the person to be the leader ( the pastor ) and then gave the leader others ( deacons ) to serve as support to the leader and as fellow servants to the congregation.
It is understood that God has always chosen to give the leadership the vision for the work of the Lord. For a pastor and board to work together for the enlargement of the kingdom of God is a beautiful experience.
The deacons are chosen from among the congregation to " serve the church " in the practical, spiritual, and temporal matters of the body of believers.
The Deacons make up the Church Board - leading, shepherding and serving the
church. Each Deacon heads a Ministry Team in areas such as missions and
finances, etc. Deacons are responsible for ministering to the needs of
church members and offering support to the Pastor.

Should We Give?
Although the topic has been abused by some in the name of religion, the Bible is very clear about giving of our resources to support the ministries that regularly contribute to our journey.
