The Deacon Ministry of Greater First Church has primarily responsibility to work with the Pastor for the spiritual and total welfare of the members of the congregation. Subsequently, deacons are given authority to serve by the pastor’s appointment after meeting and satisfying scriptural qualifications (Acts 6:1-3). At Greater First, there is a common bond between the pastor and the deacons. There may be occasions when the deacons need to advise the pastor of a problem or a potential problem in the church. The pastor always welcomes the observations.
