Candidacy, Examination AND Recognition

All Upcoming
Sermons and Events

The candidacy of deacons shall be done in the same manner as for elders as set forth in this Constitution and By-Laws except they shall be examined according to the qualifications in 1Tim 3:8-13 instead of the qualifications for elders.  After having served above reproach the elders will present the candidate(s) to the church at a regular worship meeting.

1 Tim 3:8-13
8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. 9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. 11 Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
