Product Overview
Newly updated based on changes to the Book of Order, this session is designed to acquaint people who are investigating the ministry of deacon with the specific duties and responsibilities of the position as defined by the Book of Order and identified by Scripture. At the end of the session, participants should be able to state the role of deacon as defined by the Bible and the PC(USA); describe specific ways their congregation engages in the ministry of sympathy, witness, and service; identify the talents and skills needed to serve in this important ministry; and discuss some new ideas for ministry based on suggestions in the Participant Handout.
