Deacons are often called upon to be involved in the lives of hurting people. Check out our Caring with Compassion pages for ways in which you can best respond to those you serve.
Deacons also act as catalysts as they encourage congregational members to engage in ministry opportunities. Go to Involving your Congregation for more information.
As a Deacon, you may also want to check out resources that other Diaconal Conferences may provide. From here you can access the website of a Diaconal Conference nearest you.
