Deacons

The deacons at Hughesville Baptist Church strive to fulfill the biblical model for deacons as outlined in Acts 6:1-7 and 1Timothy 3:8-13.  The deacons must be men above reproach, servant leaders, and have a heart for helping the pastor(s) care for the congregation.

Ministry Teams
The deacons are divided into ministry teams that fulfill key needs within the congregation.
  • Baptismal Team - To help baptism candidates, by making sure all their needs are met, before, during, and after baptism.
  • Benevolence Team - To administer benevolence offerings to needy church members and other members of the community.
  • Homebound Visitation Team - To reach out, and minister to church members who cannot physically attend church.
  • Hospital Visitation Team - To visit and comfort church members and friends admitted to or recently discharged.
  • Lord's Supper Team - To prepare for the observance of the Lord's Supper by having responsibility for the elements, utensils, and linens.
  • New Member Assimilation Team - To provide personal contact to every new member and help them connect by encouraging their involvement, processing visitor information slips, and making follow-up contacts.
