Deacon’s Ministry Meeting

The Deacon Ministry of First Church is a dedicated team of servant-leaders called to uphold the spiritual life and daily care of the congregation. Meeting regularly, these faithful men and women gather to prayerfully plan each worship service, ensuring that every element—from scripture reading to song selection—points hearts toward God. But their work extends far beyond the Sunday schedule. The deacons labor over the spiritual direction of each individual member, seeking the Lord’s guidance for how to nurture, encourage, and gently correct when needed. They are the loving first responders of the church: the point of contact when a pastor is unavailable, the steady presence when shepherding is required, and the welcoming voice for those interested in joining the First Church family. Whether praying over a hospital bed, answering questions about membership, or sitting with a struggling soul over coffee, the deacons embody the heart of Christ—ready to serve, eager to care, and committed to ensuring that no one walks through the doors of First Church without being seen, loved, and led toward spiritual wholeness.
