Deacons likewise must be serious, not double-tongued, not indulging in much wine, not greedy for money; 9they must hold fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10And let them first be tested; then, if they prove themselves blameless, let them serve as deacons.
1 Timothy 3:10
Ordained Deacons of Tabernacle Baptist Church are men and women whose lives demonstrate their willingness to live according to God's will. The collective giftedness of these individuals help accomplish the purpose of the Deacon Ministry, which is the meeting of the spiritual and physical needs of the congregation that are not met by other ministries within the church.
Rather than serving as an administrative board or functioning in a family ministry format, the deacons actively seek to determine the unmet needs of all members and to lead individuals and groups within the church family to address these needs.
Tabernacle's Deacons are organized in ministry teams that work cooperatively with members of the Pastoral Team to minister in the following areas:
Dr. Jimmy Gentry is Tabernacle's Pastor. Contact him for more information concerning Tabernacle's Deacon Ministry.
