Deacons

Duties

Under the general oversight of the Elder Council, the deacons manage the benevolent, physical, and social needs of the church. In the benevolent functions of the church, the deacons are responsible to maintain the biblical standards of money, charity, work, and related issues (Isa. 10:1–4; Gal. 6:10; Eph. 4:28; 2 Thess. 3:6–15; 1 Tim. 5:3–4, 8).

For information about the qualifications and selection process for deacons, see the Constitution.
