Deacon ministry is one of the more complex areas of ministry in the church. Deacons address every area of pastoral ministry—bereavement, administration, hospital ministry, family ministry, spiritual development, evangelism, new member orientation—you name it, they do it. Because of the complexity of deacon ministry, organizing deacon ministry is also a complex process.

 

Jesus embodied servant-leadership for us. Leaders should support those who are doing ministry—running interference, protecting the schedule from conflicts, finding resources—whatever it takes to assist deacons in performing the ministry God has called them to do.
