Purpose

The Deacons Ministry joins the pastor in ministering to the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of each church member and family through our Family Ministry.

Deacons' Family Ministry

Because we care for you and your family our pastor, Bishop James H. Morton and the Deacons of New Beginning Full Gospel Baptist Church are committed to the Deacon's Family Ministry. We want to make certain that every member and family in our church experience the love and support of the whole congregation. We want to be known throughout our community as a loving and caring church.

What is the Deacon's Family Ministry? It is a ministry through which the deacons join the pastor in ministering to the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of each church member and family. The resident church families are divided among teams of deacons that will see to the needs of those members as requested.

How can a deacon help you? Of course, you are the only one who can answer that question. However, there are some specific ways your deacon wants to try to help.

• Visit to get acquainted with you and your family. Make other visits throughout the year when someone in your family is in the hospital or you have sorrow or sickness in the home.

• Witnessing to unsaved family members - One of your deacon's chief concerns is that every member of your family knows Christ as Savior.

• Helping you to know and have fellowship with other members and families in the church

• Helping you find ways to serve in and through the church

• Praying for you and with you
