Deacons share and teach care and compassion for those both in and outside our community of faith.
We organize our Board of Deacons along three essential ministries:
- Congregational Care: We care for those within our community of faith who are ill, injured, home-bound, or otherwise incapacitated. We also oversee the preparation for Holy Communion and some of our church-wide fellowship events.
- Community Outreach: We support local missions and help the congregation be engaged in transformational work in our community and larger world.
- Food Program: We provide food to those in need through a monthly food distribution on the third Saturday of each month (9 a.m. – 11 a.m.), and with emergency bags of food distributed from the west parking lot on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.) See Resources page.
