Because we care for you and your family, the Pastors and Deacons of First Baptist Church are committed to the Deacon Family Ministry Plan. We want to make certain that every member and family in our church experiences the love and support of the whole congregation.
What is the Deacon Family Ministry Plan? It is a plan through which the Deacons can join the Pastor and church staff in ministering to the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of each church member and family. The resident church families are divided into groups of ten or more families. Each group of families is then assigned to a Deacon who will minister to them over a period of time.
How can a Deacon help you? Of course, you are the only one who can answer that question. However, there are some specific ways your Deacon wants to try to help:
Regularly scheduled Deacons Meeting is the first Sunday Evening of each month at 4:30 PM. A part of each meeting is spent praying about specific needs of families and in rejoicing over needs met and victories won. Another part of the meeting is used in developing deacons' skills in ministering to family needs.
Other functions of the Deacon Ministry are:
In our Deacon Family Ministry Plan every member and every family has a deacon. Feel free to call your Deacon. Your Deacon will seek to help you or link you to another helping person.
