Deacon Nominations

Men

Deacons are to be servants of the church.  The task of the deacon is to serve with the Pastor and staff in performing pastoral ministries; proclaim the Gospel to believers and unbelievers; care for the church members and other persons in the community; lead the church to engage in a fellowship of worship, witness, education, and ministry.

Requirements:

  • Must be a covenant member of the church in good standing.
  • Deacons, likewise, should be worthy of respect, not hypocritical, not drinking a lot of wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. They must also be tested first; if they prove blameless, then they can serve as deacons.  Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything. Deacons are to be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households competently. For those who have served well as deacons acquire a good standing for themselves and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. (1 Tim. 3:8-13)

Serve with our new after-school program

Greater Things is looking for teachers and volunteers to work with our students in the afternoons. If you have any time during an afternoon or two, our students could benefit from having someone listen to them read aloud, call out their spelling words, or just share the love of Christ. Mrs. McDonald would love to have a cup of coffee with you and talk about it!
