Deacon Ministry

Partners in Ministry and Growth

Biblical Reference: So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them, and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word." Acts 6:2-4

Purpose: The Deacon Ministry seeks to follow the biblical example established by the early disciples as Spirit-filled men, chosen and set aside to be servant partners with the Pastor. Deacons assist the Pastor in all areas of ministry, service, support, and leadership to the family of God, with particular emphasis on communion preparation, baptism, receiving new members and providing ministry to the widows and needy of our church. The Deaconess of the church also assists the Deacons in their ministry.

Mission: The mission of the Tabernacle Baptist Church Deacon Ministry is to lead people to a personal faith in Jesus Christ and to help develop them into devoted followers of Him.
