In addition:
- Deacons are to be capable of serving the Lord in spiritual ways.

Vision Statement: The Deacon Ministry demonstrates spiritual leadership by serving the Pastor and congregation; and, by supporting the pastoral vision through evangelism, stewardship and discipleship. The Deacons ministry promotes harmony among all, and encourages support from the congregation. Spiritual growth of the overall membership is a priority.
