Deacon Information Page

Picture
In a book several years ago, Brian Harbour stated that church members should never complain about their deacons.  He went on to state that the church's deacons were "an accurate reflection of where the church is spiritually."

Though I am not 100% positive his statement rings true, I do think churches - as well as those who determine to serve as deacons - should take the responsibility of deacon ministry a lot more seriously than we sometimes do.  This page is dedicated to strengthening the deacon ministry in the local church.
