The Deacons' mission is to "inspire faithful stewardship in the congregation." 

"Benevolence" is a concept that Deacons will speak into the congregation. "It is a quality of our life in Christ and not merely a matter of financial assistance." They "minister to rich and poor alike, both within and outside the church."

The charge to the deacons states:"Weigh the needs of causes and use the church's resources discerningly. Be compassionate to the needy. Encourage them with words that create hope in their hearts and with deeds that bring joy into their lives...."   (Page 1005 Psalter)    

What Deacons do:

    1. Organize and receive collections at each church service.

          1.a The first collection is intended for the church's budget.

          1.b  The second collection is for local, national and international designated causes.

    2. Meet eight times a year to plan, consider needs and provide oversight of the church's budget.
