The boards of Deacons at Calvary Tucson are men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom (Acts 6).
Each has been tested according to 1 Timothy 3 and serves the body of believers faithfully. The Deacons carry on various ministries within the body to meet the physical needs of the Church under the direction and encouragement of the pastoral staff.
Currently they oversee our benevolence fund set up to provide emergency assistance for needy people and are responsible for the set up and serving of communion. They also are available to assist the pastoral staff in meeting the needs of our body. The Deacons meet and counsel with a pastor once a month regarding the physical needs that arise in the church body.
They are encouraged to pray for any in the flock for whom they are caring. They continue to serve the flock, exercising love, hospitality, care and good counsel.
Their qualifications are outlined in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.
