Deacons

The Deacons are charged to be this church's organized expression of compassionate Christian ministry under the direction of Session. Specifically they care for those who are sick, friendless, or in distress of any kind. They offer and/or organize assistance and care for those in need of it. They offer hostitality to all who enter this church and extend its ministry to the home and hospital bound.

Deacons are elected and ordained from the congregation to fullfill this purpose. Deacons serve for three years and may be reelected once to serve for a maximum of six years in a row. One third of serving Deacons' terms expire each year and therefore one third of Deacons are subject to election each year.
