MISSION STATEMENT:
Enabling relationships with members geographically, while establishing familiarity and trust with deacon leadership.
OVERVIEW:
The plan for the Lilly Grove Deacon Family Ministry is accomplished when the deacon leadership join the Pastor in ministering to the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of each church member and family. Church families are divided into groups of twenty or more families. Each group of families are then assigned to a deacon who will minister to them over a period.
A part of each Deacon Family Ministry meeting is spent praying about specific needs of families and in rejoicing over needs met and victories won. The deacons meet monthly to evaluate the ministry plan, to plan actions for improvement, and to provide regular training opportunities for deacons to develop their skills in ministering to family needs.
The Deacon Family Ministry plan serves as a ministering example for the entire congregation. As deacons minister to families in the church, this helps and encourages other members to do the same.
