Our Deacons

"Paul and Timothy…to all the saints…with the bishops and deacons" (Philippians 1:1, NKJV)

These men serve the congregation in the areas assigned to them by the elders. The congregation at Morrison has striven to appoint men as deacons who meet the New Testament’s qualifications:

Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 3:8-13, NKJV)
