“So I exhort the elders among you… shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you.”
— 1 Peter 5:1–2
The New Testament deacon is an office of service. The deacon should demonstrate godly character and provide a personal example of Christian maturity (1 Timothy 3:8-13). Our deacon team works with the pastor to serve the varied spiritual and physical needs of our church family through a Care Group ministry model.
