Our Deacons hold a biblically ordained ministry of the church. In the book of Acts 6:2 states So the Twelve apostles convened the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not seemly or desirable or right that we should have to give up or neglect preaching the Word of God in order to attend to serving tables and superintending the distribution of food. Therefore select out from amongst yourselves, brethren, seven men of good and attested character and repute, full of the Holy Spirit and full of wisdom, whom we may assign to look after this business and duty."
Our Deaconesses are an extension of the Deacons, and are Godly woman of good repute filled with the Holy Spirit.
