- The Deacon Ministry at Sunrise Mountain Baptist Church is patterned and based on the role of deacons in the New Testament...
- Not a "board of directors."
- Not the guys who "tell the pastor what to do."
- Not a group that every decision of the church has to be approved by before becoming "official."
.
- We are blessed with a wonderful group of godly men who serve in the truest Biblical role of deacons...
.
- a) Serving as "table waiters," assisting with the tangible and specific needs of SMBC's members...
- Each deacon minister serves an equal share of the families within the church, ministering to them in what is called the Deacons' Family Ministry Plan.
.
- b) Extending and assisting in the pastor's ministries...
- Staying in touch with each family unit within the church, being aware of needs
- Visiting folks in the hospital
- Offering encouragement, support, and godly assistance and supportive counsel to the pastor.
.
- c) Coordinating SMBC's benevolence ministry...
- Meeting with any and all folks requesting benevolence assistance
- Administering the church's benevolence funds as they believe God is leading them to do
.
- d) Assisting in the celebration of the church's two ordinances...
- Preparing and serving the bread and juice during Lord's Supper observances
- Preparing the baptistry and assisting those being baptized on the occasion of baptisms
.
- If you are in need of assistance, please feel free to contact any one of the deacon ministers, or you can send an e-mail to deacons@smbcaz.org, leaving a contact number or e-mail address, and one of the deacons will be glad to assist you.
.
- Thank You, Lord, for providing such wonderful deacon ministers to us.
- Thank you, deacon ministers, for being exactly that...serving ministers.
- It's a privilege to serve the Lord alongside you.
