Deacons
As stated by the LCMS, “While the office of pastor is divinely instituted and indispensable for the Church, the deacon is an optional office based on Apostolic and church custom. The deacon or elder is a position of lay-service, concerned with the temporal and administrative affair of the congregation.”
The nature of the duties of a Deacon requires that only men noted for their Christian knowledge, zeal, and experience in the spiritual work of the Kingdom of Christ shall be elected to membership. The Board of Deacons shall consist of at least twelve (12) members. Term of office shall be for three (3) years. Four new members are to be elected each year.
You may contact the Board of Deacons by email at deacons@stpaulslcms.org.
