Deacons are those who have been recognized by our body to meet various physical needs. They assist in ways that promote the elders’ ministry of the Word. Their responsibilities include such things as administering funds to assist the poor and needy, providing aid in times of crisis, lending a hand at fellowship gatherings and maintaining the Redeemer Church campus.
