Persons of good character and strong faith upon whose shoulders the rest the physical operation of the church. It is the Deacons' duty to shore up and oversee the needs of God's house and God's people, and to support and assist the Pastor and the ministerial staff so that they would be free to concentrate on seeing to the spiritual needs of the body of Christ.
And in those days, when the number of the
disciples was multiplied, there
arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6: 1 - 4
There is no work of a pastor more imperative in his ministry
than that of equipping and partnering with the very men who
have been appointed to serve the congregation
with him. Deacons, according to Acts 6:3, are assigned the
task of caring for the Saints. This work should never be taken
lightly.
A Deacon is in a position of Servant Leadership which
requires him to lead with sound spiritual guidance that comes
from the Pastor and the Deacon's own personal relationship
with Christ. We serve the congregation by being examples
of holiness. We serve together to administer the ordinances of
baptism and the Lord's Supper. We visit the sick, the widows,
and members who have strayed away from the flock. We join
together in carrying out God's vision for the church.
