Deacon Ministry Handbook
$14.99If you ask any pastor about what keeps their church moving forward, they will all likely point to the serving work of the deacon. These special men who are known for their unique leadership from the role of the servant are the foundation of healthy churches, no matter the size. They likely make visits to those that are homebound or those that are sick and often pray and care for those in need.
