Meet our Deacons

Wondering What a Deacon is?

Deacon simply means “servant.” Each deacon is expected to live his/her life as honest, of good reputation, temperate, humble, worthy of respect, and of good report. You’re welcome to reach out to any of our deacons any time, our deacons are here to serve.
