The Role of the Deacon at University Baptist Church:
Serving as a deacon at University Baptist Church involves, above all else, assuming a servant role. The Deacons, along with the Pastor, are to minister compassionately to members of the congregation and to be builders of Christian fellowship. University Baptist Church has a Deacon Family Ministry Plan that provides an opportunity for each Deacon to minister to several assigned families of the church.
The qualifications to serve as a Deacon are founded on Biblical principles especially outlined in I Timothy 3:8-12, Acts 6:1-6 and Titus 1:6-9. Such principles include honesty, wisdom, faithfulness, temperance, following the leadership of the Holy Spirit and striving for a strong Christian family.
Deacons are to be worthy of respect and should strive to show, by example, their commitment to support church programs, faithful church attendance, stewardship of time and money, and compassionate concern for identified needs within the church.
