Deacon Ministry

"Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;"

Acts 6:3 (NKJV)

As this story goes, the church was growing at a rapid pace and the preachers of the day were unable to attend to the needs of all the people on an individual basis. The bottom line was that they needed some help! So they chose seven men to assist them in their ministry so that they could focus on spreading the good news of our risen Saviour.

Such is at Monks Grove Baptist Church. Our pastor has chosen to surround himself with spiritual, honest and wise men that help him to carry out the work of the ministry. We have a healthy relationship with our leader and share in the vision that God has given him. Our work is one of service; not only to God but to the people of this church and community. We strive to accomplish this task by assigning members to wards of which each deacon has the responsibility of serving. Whether it be through intercessory prayer, visitation, consultation or fellowship; our desire is to see that every member is served.
