Our Board of Deacons provide an assertive ministry of sympathy, witness, service,
and prayer following the example of Jesus Christ. To do this, we respond to
individual needs, joys, and concerns, seek to strengthen the bond of Christian community
within our congregation, and extend the hand of Christian fellowship to our community
and the world.
