Deacons Ministry

Member Care: Deacons in Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church
"The office of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, warm sympathies, and sound judgement should be chosen for this office. It is the duty of deacons, first of all, to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, the friendless and to any who may be in distress. They shall assume such other duties as may be delegated to them from time to time by the session." (BO B-6.0401-2)

Our Deacons "help make Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church as warm, loving, and caring a congregation as possible" and lead the congregation in personal, one-on-one ministries such as the following:
  • Contact with shut ins (including the coordination of transportation for shut ins to worship services)
  • Contact with people in the hospital
  • Contact with people with long term illnesses and special needs
  • Contact with the bereaved (including the coordination of funeral receptions and meals)
  • Contact with members who seem to be becoming inactive
  • Contact with all members, beginning with new members, regarding their relationship with the church and how they can best be of service to the Lord through the church.
If you are aware of someone needing congregational care, please call the church office at 706-733-2275.
