Elder and Deacon Ministries

The Ministry of the Elder Board:

The term “Elder” is used to designate teaching and lay leadership roles within a local congregation. We are blessed to have men serving as Elders who, as the Bible requires, give themselves “to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.”  Elders must teach and pray.  Elders are responsible for both public and private teaching. Elders are to contend for the faith, refuting and rebuking false teachers.  Elders are to guard their people from errors and sins and dangers of all kinds, both from within and without.  Elders are to be overseers of the congregation.  Elders are to lead both by precept and example.  A detailed description of the role & responsibilities of Elders is available from the church office.

Deacon Ministries:

In the Bible, words have specific meanings and the word “deacon” means servant.  We are blessed to have several men serve our congregation as deacons.  A detailed description of how our deacons serve is available from the church office.  If you feel called to apprentice in our deacon ministry, please contact the church office who will forward your information to our Chairman of Deacons.  The chairman will contact you with, and for, more information.
