OUR PURPOSE
“Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.”
Acts 6:1-6, I Timothy 3:8-13, and Titus 1:6-9

The purpose of the Deacon Ministry is to assist the pastoral staff in serving the needs of the church body.
The deacons of Saint Paul Baptist Church serve members in the following ways:
The deacon body shall serve under the leadership of the pastor and assist him in performing duties in order to free him for the ministry of the Word. The deacons will support and work with the pastor as follows: 1) to lead the church in the achievement of its mission,
2) to minister the gospel to believers and unbelievers
3) to care for the church's members and others in the community,
4) to have a consistent commitment to stewardship that shall be attested to by the deacon's example of tithing to the church,
5) to demonstrate Christ-like consecration, loyalty, prayer support and faithfulness to the local church program,
6) to visit the sick, needy and indifferent of the church
7) to encourage and strengthen new converts and the spiritually weak,
8) to attend deacons' meetings regularly,
9) to be available with his wife at worship services for assisting the pastor in receiving new members.
As deacons, our mission is accomplished through reflection of Christ-like character.
