The Bible teaches that gifts and talents are divinely bestowed by God's grace to every individual for serving others, glorifying Him, and building the Church. These skills, ranging from practical abilities to spiritual gifts, are intended to be actively developed and used as faithful stewards, not hidden. The Bible teaches that spiritual gifts should not remain dormant or neglected, but rather actively used and "fanned into flame" (2 Timothy 1:6).

Deacon Ministry

Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Acts 6:1-4 NJKV The Deacon Board consists of ordained deacons “diakonos” (men and women) in the Church focused on assisting the Pastor in providing the pulpit supply; leading the prayer meetings, visiting the members; and caring for the sick, needy, and distressed members of the church. They focused on a twofold ministry of service: promoting Christian spiritual growth, and the Church ministries to the membership and community; and providing for the ordinances and aiding in their administration.
