Brief Course on Serving
Spring 2013

Purpose of Course

The general purpose of this course is to strengthen and build up the church body. The more we collectively know about God's desire for the church, the stronger our church will become. We want to search out and understand what God has to say about biblical serving to all of us. In this sense, this course is for everyone.

A specific purpose of this course is to begin equipping potential deacons: men who, under the direction and oversight of the elders, seek to attend to the ministry needs of our local church; this valuable service enables the elders to devote themselves "to prayer and to the teaching of the word" (Acts 6:4). To that end, this course is a requirement for those who would be willing, and called, to serve in the role of deacon, whether in the near or further future.

Specifics of the Course

- Schedule: Three Tuesday evenings, from 7-9pm; May 21, June 4, and June 18

- Text: The New Testament Deacon: the Church's Ministers of Mercy, by Alexandar Strauch (other articles deemed helpful will be provided as well)

- Registration: CLICK HERE
