2025 Deacon Nominations

Greetings church family,

                  The deacons brought a suggestion to the church body a few months ago to begin searching for up to 10 new deacons to serve with the current deacon body.  This was approved in a business meeting.  As a result, the selection committee was chosen.   

·      Deacon Gavin Falkner (chair)

·      Deacon Greg McGregor

·      Deacon Dickie Clary

·      Brian Rogers

·      Julie Ray

·      Darwin Lewis

We are seeking your help! We need you to pray and suggest men in our church who meet the biblical definition of a deacon as listed below. 

     The qualifications of a deacon are based on the Word of God. Many quotes from the apostles and Paul, as well as other Scripture references, define the qualifications and attributes of a deacon. A deacon should:

1. Live  a godly life that establishes a good reputation and name in the Church and community. (I Timothy 3:8)

2. Live  a life that gives evidence that he is filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 6:3; Galatians 5:22-23)

3. Live  a life free from the use of alcohol. (I Timothy 3:8; Proverbs 20:1, 23:29-35; Romans 14:21; Ephesians 5:18)

4. Exhibit self-control, patience, gentleness, contentment, and a desire to keep peace. (I Timothy 3:3,8)

5. Show an ability to control his words for the glory of God and benefit of others. (I Timothy 3:8; James 3:2)

6. Serve his family as one who is faithful to his wife, providing godly discipline and nurture for his children, and presenting to the community a picture of a godly home. (I Timothy 3:12)               

7. Demonstrate contentment with his position and possessions; he should       display generosity to those in need and be faithful to his tithe to the local Church. (I Timothy 3:8; Malachi 3:8-10; II Corinthians 9:7)

8. His wife should be respected in the community, careful to speak well of others and never speak evil, exercising self-control in her life and faithfulness to the Lord. (I Timothy 3:11)            

9. Be a mature believer, not a new Christian, with an understanding of the scriptures and one who has proven his character and faith over time. (I Timothy 3:10) 

10. Be faithful in attendance to the services and meetings of the Church as an example and inspiration to others. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
