Deacons
Deacons support the ministry of the Church of the Bigwood and are committed to the care of the congregation and the community. They minister to those from within the membership and beyond the community of Faith.
They provide a ministry of compassion and prayer to those who may be ill, friendless or distressed. The deacons participate in hospitality and church events so that the interaction of church members may be possible.
Through the facilitation of communication among themselves and with other leaders of the congregation, the deacons become a resource for the healing of those in need.
“Thus Speaketh the Lord of Hosts, saying, execute true judgment and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother.”
