Ward
Deacons Second
Baptist Church has a deacon's ministry whose primary functions
are to oversee the spiritual needs of the parishioners and to
assist the pastor. To that effect, we have divided the
church membership into wards according to last names. If
you have questions or concerns, we encourage you to contact your
ward deacon. In
Acts 6, we find these words, "And in those days, when the
number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring
of the Grecian against the Hebrews, because their widows were
neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve
called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is
not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve
tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven
men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, who we
may appoint over this business. But we give ourselves
continually to prayer, and to ministry of the word."
To this end, please understand that the pastor cannot do it all
alone, thus he depends heavily upon the deacons for
assistance. Ward
