Deacons

Faith Baptist has a group of spiritual men, elected by the church, to serve in the role of a Deacon. The biblical qualifications for a deacon are taken from the following scripture references.

 



1 Timothy 3:8-13 (KJV)

 

8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;


9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.


10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.


11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.


12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.


13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 

Our deacons can be contacted by calling our church office at
