Volunteers for Deacons and Deaconesses

It is the duty of the Deacons to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress. They shall have the care of the property of the congregation, both real and personal, and shall keep in proper repair the church edifice and other buildings belonging to the congregations. The role of Deaconess is not an ordained office of the church. However, they are charged with assisting the Deacons in all their work and should be held to the same standards as the men.
