Deacons

There are two church offices described in the New Testament: Elders/Pastors and Deacons. Both roles are significant and necessary, yet distinct. Elders (servant leaders) guide and govern the church; Deacons (lead servants) assist the Elders and serve the body. The church needs godly, qualified men occupying both offices in order to be healthy.

From Article 3, Section 4 of Constitution

Qualifications of Deacons

Deacons must be male Covenant Partners of this Church. A Deacon shall faithfully and actively support the activities of this Church and shall possess the Scriptural qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3:8-13. A Deacon candidate will have been a Covenant Partner of Redemption for at least one year prior to nomination.

Call/Selection of Deacons

At times determined by the Elders, active Partners of the Church will be given the opportunity to nominate any man, who is an active Partner of the Church, as a candidate for Deacon. Candidates will then be selected by unanimous approval of the Elders and presented to active Partners at least one month prior to any church meeting called by the Church. Any active Partner with reason to believe a candidate is unqualified for the office of Deacon should express such concern to the Elders. At the scheduled meeting, Deacon candidates will be appointed by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of active Partners present and voting.
