The Ministry and Gifts of Deacons

The office of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, of exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, warm sympathies and sound judgment should be chosen for this office. (The Book of Order: G-6.0401)

Responsibilities

It is the duty of deacons, first of all to minister to those in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the community of faith. (The Book of Order: G-6.0402)

Purpose

The purpose of the Board of Deacons in the life of the Christian Church is to ensure that members of the church receive the care, support and life-encouragement needed for the facing of life’s challenges. Thus, the purpose of the ministry of the Board of Deacons of First Presbyterian Church of Wichita, Kansas is to offer a caring heart to any whom God brings its way. This ministry may be initiated by the Board of Deacons or coordinate by it, but in every case, the caring ministry will be assured by those ordained and installed to the office of deacon.
