The Deacon’s Ministry exists to provide ministry and care to the people of LACC. This ministry is carried out through a shepherding approach. Each active deacon is assigned a number of church families that make up their “flock.” The deacon is responsible for communicating with their flock on a regular basis, identifying any needs, and assisting them with any needs related to the church.

The office of a deacon demands a high level of commitment, a mature knowledge of the faith and dedication to fellowship and service.  I Timothy 3:13 summarizes it best,  “For those who have served well as Deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.”  May your service as deacon be one of the richest and most rewarding of your walk with the Lord.
