What is a deacon?

The members of our leadership team at Forestdale are called Deacons, which is the Greek word for servants. They are a team of women and men who are growing in this life of “loving God, loving others, and making disciples.” They practice this life first among themselves, and then work to pass that life on to others at home, at work, in the church, and in the community.  As a team, they oversee the ministries of the church, and guide us in our devotion to “the Apostles’ teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer.”
