Our Church Council met officially for the first time this past Wednesday, and as they met two important topics emerged. The first was that our current deacons are experiencing the promises of God...
"For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 3:13
The second topic was about you, the members of Sovereign Grace Church. We believe God will call some of you to be deacons in the future. Why? Because God is good and deacons are a gift from Him to His church.
May we not underestimate our deaconate.
Please join us in praying for the future of our deaconate ministry. Read up about what we believe about deacons, encourage our deacons, and ask God if you are called to be a deacon.
And btw...although we ordain only men as deacons, we believe women are called to fulfill deacon-like roles in the church too. We want to equip you to do the ministry of the church. If we don't find you first, contact a deacon or pastor and let them know you want to serve.
