The Board of Deacons consists of members of the church elected for three year terms. Their goal is to be of service to individuals, the church as a whole, and the surrounding community.
The Deacons provide individuals in need with financial assistance for food, temporary housing and home repairs. They have given donations to Ocean’s Harbor House, Barnegat Schools Thanksgiving and Summer Food Programs and churches devastated by Hurricane Helene in Florida and North Carolina. The Deacons also have a food collection site within the church.
The Deacons prepare the communion elements for our worship services and serve communion to housebound congregants. They also operate a special ministry called The Prayer Chain that offers intercessory prayer for people with illnesses and other concerns.
