Board of Deacons

Deacons serve as Christ’s hands and feet in our own community as they nurture members of the congregation with friendship and compassion. Our parish deacons serve assigned geographic areas of our membership, providing ongoing care and nurture through frequent contact, hospital visitation, new member integration, and memorial service hospitality. Contact the church office if you do not know who your deacon is; we want to help you make this connection.
