DEACONS: MEN OF MINISTRY
The deacons are an important part of the life and
ministry of the church! In this seminar, we see how the Bible describes the
work of deacons, and how they can fulfill their ministry to the church through
the service they provide.
We begin by discussing the twofold function of the
church. Then we discover how the deacon fits into the overall plan for the
church as described in scripture. Special emphasis is placed on the practical
ministry of service by the deacons. We give ideas on how to raise up more
servants for ministry, how to organize, how to have an effective meeting, the
relationship of the deacons to the elders and minister(s), how deacons can set
goals and plan strategies for their work, and more!

WHAT
THEY'RE SAYING
"Jim McLoud’s seminar on the
biblical functioning deacon is superb! ...Jim taught us how to lead the church
by God’s laws and not by-laws. This was done by teaching us how the New
Testament church handled the work of the Lord’s church. Then he listened to
how we operate and made suggestions that could improve our work. Every answer
he gave was scriptural as well as friendly...His presentation left us enthused
and eager to do whatever it takes to glorify God."
