The Diaconate consists of 15 deacons, and is the body that organizes the work of the deacons and their committees.
Deacons The New Testament also gave us the office of deacon, from the Greek word diakonos, which means, “to stir up dust!” Just as elders are focused on governance, deacons are focused on service (hence, you stir up dust as you move about serving others). Deacons are charged with serving those who need the most help: the hungry, the sick, the elderly, the poor, and the lonely. In our church, they accomplish this through several committees, such as: Congregational Care, Congregational Life, Fellowship, Visitation, and Mission Outreach. Each year the congregation elects 5 deacons to serve 3-year terms on the Diaconate.
