equipping Deacons

Welcome to our section on Diaconal Ministry. This section introduces the multi-dimensional world of diaconal ministry:

• Now You’re a Deacon provides a brief summary of the different dimensions of diaconal ministry.
• If you are a deacon for the first time, you may want to review the New Deacon Orientation Kit or Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
• 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.
• There are many other resources for diaconal ministry in this section. The Community Ministry, Stewardship, Justice, or Refugee Ministry sections are very helpful.
• 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.
