Deacon Ministry

The Deacon Ministry maintains the currency of the membership through services, spiritual nurturing, systematic visitations, benevolent and bereavement support, and support of the Senior Pastor’s vision “…It is not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.” Acts 7:2–3

The Deacon Ministry administers communion at first Sunday services and upon request to homebound members. The Deacons oversee baptisms and right hand of fellowship to new members. Most importantly, through a Deacon Family Ministry Plan, each Greater Zion member is assigned a team of Deacons who are available to assist you in times of sickness or bereavement, or to have prayer with you in times of trials and tribulation. In order to assist you, please contact your Deacons should a crisis occur. Also, please provide your Deacons with current contact information (new address, telephone number, etc.) whenever there is an update.
