Deacon On Call Program
The office of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. It is the duty of deacons, first of all, to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the community of faith. They shall assume such other duties as may be delegated to them from time to time by the session, such as leading the people in worship through prayers of intercession, reading the Scriptures, presenting the gifts of the people and assisting with the Lord’s Supper.
Through our Deacon on Call program, we provide service and assistance to those who most need our support. We seek to provide leadership in response to changes and emergencies in our local community and the world beyond it -- to be a relevant part of the world around us and not just a building on the corner.
