Deaconesses serve alongside the Deacons as partners in ministry, supporting both the practical needs and relational care of the church body. They minister personally to the congregation by visiting and encouraging those who are sick or in need, coordinating meal support and fostering meaningful relationships within the church. They help cultivate a welcoming and connected church environment by supporting fellowship opportunities such as Sunday school classes, potlucks and events that engage both the church family and the broader community. Deaconesses also assist with hospitality for church events, nursery coordination, baptism details, communion preparation, and stewardship of the kitchen and shared spaces. In all areas, they work in unity with the Deacons to care for and strengthen the church. Deaconesses are voted in roles by church congregation members and terms are three years.
