DEACONS AT DOXA
What is a Deacon?
The word “deacon" means “servant.” Deacons are the servants of our church, men and women (Romans 16:1) who are qualified (1 Timothy 3:8-12) for the ministry of caring for God’s people. They make significant contributions to the function of the church, while allowing elders to prioritize that which they have been commanded to do, namely shepherd, pray for, and teach the church. Deacons work closely with the elders as they both build the body of Christ up into all maturity.
