Ministers of Mercy

Each one of is called to serve others. As we do so, we follow the example of our Savior, who “did not come to be served, but to serve”. Especially critical to the church are the needs of its widows, and others without families nearby who are unable to help themselves. Jesus cares deeply about such needs, and He has equipped His church to ensure that no member falls through the cracks when it comes to being loved in intensely practical ways. By God’s design, His church is blessed with servant leaders whose ministry helps the church meet members’ practical needs. In fact, the word deacon simply means “one who serves”. Like elders, deacons’ character must be Christlike, because the rest of the church family is following their example!
