Workshops
DMC’s
workshops address key
components of diaconal
ministry and are designed
to provide understanding
and growth for participants
in diaconal ministry.
The workshops are the
result of much research
and discussion. They are
interactive and require
time and effort to complete.
Clarity and focus in diaconal
ministry is the outcome.
To schedule a workshop,
please contact

Being
a Deacon Workshops
Deacons respond to God’s
call to make a difference
in the lives of people
who need His compassionate
care. The following workshops
provide ideas and assistance
for newer deacons, those
with some experience,
and those who have served
several terms. These workshops
develop the hearts and
hands of deacons. They
can help develop a vision
in the diaconate for new
goals, plans to attain
the goals and clarity
for each deacon’s
participation. Our DMDs
are available and willing
to facilitate these workshops
with a diaconate or a
larger group.
Participating
in Community Ministry Workshops
God
opens many doorways for
ministry in our
community. Deacons have
an opportunity to participate
in the work God is already
doing.
Deacons
can identify ministry
opportunities in the community
so that members build
relationships with those
who live in the community.
Deacons may initiate ways
in which their church
can work with other agencies
or churches on a joint
project to meet a need
or accomplish a task.
Deacons may encourage
the reshaping of existing
church programs to attract
community residents. These
workshops will enable
deacons to inspire congregations
to be a compassionate
presence in their community.
