PLEASE NOTE that from December 15 to January 19, we will only have ONE Sunday morning service at 11:00 am, preceded by Core Seminars at 10:00 am. We will go back to two services on January 26. 

While the elders shepherd the church, the deacons and deaconesses at Grace fill supportive roles as they coordinate various ministries that relate to the physical needs of the congregation. As those who free the elders to provide spiritual oversight to the church, the deacons and deaconesses each oversee a particular church ministry (e.g., audio/visual, facilities, ceremonies, etc.). In their service to the church, the deacons and deaconesses compose serving schedules, direct activities, and communicate specific needs within their ministry to the congregation. On any given Sunday, deacons and deaconesses may be found ushering, preparing communion, or coordinating community service activities, among many other things. At their discretion, the deacons and deaconesses gather volunteers in support of their work. Potential deacons and deaconesses are chosen by the elders and affirmed by the church in accordance with Acts 6:1-7 and 1 Timothy 3:8-13.

Policies and Procedures

  

Many of our members also serve as volunteers in various “Coordinator” positions, which are service-oriented leadership roles. These coordinators typically report to one of the elders, staff members, or deacons. They are listed below along with each person’s area of service:

      • Adam Burnett (Security)
      • Amanda Beckett (Emma’s Friends Special Needs Ministry)
      • Grant McCullough (Parking)
      • J.D. Morton (Parking)
      • Jennifer Fassinger (Women’s Ministry)
      • M.C. Simons (Sanctuary Hospitality)
      • Rob Butler (Men's Ministry)

We also have committees and teams that members serve on to ensure various ministry and service items are attended to. These committees meet regularly to carry out the responsibilities noted in their distinct charter documents. If you want to know more or have an interest in one day serving on one of these committees, please reach out to our Associate Pastor, C.J. Moore.
