our deacons PDF Print E-mail

Our deacons are organized into eleven ministry teams. Deacons are here to organize and empower our congregation to be involved with these ministries. 

If you've ever felt a tug at your heart to serve in any of these areas, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Sandra Worden or the chairperson of the team. We are delighted to answer your questions and help get you involved in using your spiritual gifts and talents to further spiritual growth and provide opportunities for you to serve.
