Deacons of Chapel Hill

Deacons of Chapel Hill

What Do Deacons Do?

Deacons are entrusted with the administration of the church’s mercy ministry. They are to seek out and help individuals or families facing financial difficulties, offering assistance and guidance as needed. Deacons are called to compassionately demonstrate Christ’s love to those in need. They are to show concern for the poor, the sick, the lonely, and those facing any kind of distress. Deacons are also responsible for assessing and meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals within the church. They provide care and support, both practically and prayerfully, to those in their congregation.

Overall, prayer is an integral part of the Deacons’ ministry, undergirding their actions, decisions, and interactions.

You can be a vital part of the ministry of the Deacons by serving with them. Learn more about serving with our Benevolence Ministry by contacting us here.
