DEACON MINISTRY RESOURCES

Welcome to the Deacon Resource Page, a hub for training materials, family ministry resources, and essential information to support your service at FBCE. 


As deacons, you are called to serve with wisdom, humility, and faithfulness, following the biblical model of servant leadership. “For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 3:13, ESV).  May these resources equip you to care for the church and strengthen the body of Christ.
