“For they who serve well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.” (Timothy 3:13 ASV)
Deacons are ordained servants who should excel in being attentive and responsive to the needs of the entire church membership. Deacons must be spiritually minded men. They must be men of character, characterized by unquestionable faith in Christ. Deacons should be men who love the work of being a servant of God and His bride – the church. Deacons must be men who lead their families well. Service is how Christ demonstrated His love for the church and service to the church is how deacons demonstrate their love for Christ.
Warmly greeting members known to him and purposefully becoming acquainted with others is our responsibility. Purposefully connecting with church members by personal contact, telephoning, visiting in times of sickness, joy, stressful times or bereavement should characterize deacons. We work with the Pastor to fulfill our duties. Our obligation is not only to the Pastor and each other; we must serve everyone, from the elderly to the youth.
Striving to live a life of service which is worthy of respect. Deacons of Evangelistic Baptist Church of Christ are striving to live a sincere, committed, prayer filled life led by our love of God for Him and His people.
