Deacons

Serving with the heart of Jesus

The Biblical definition of a Deacon is that he is a servant in the church. He is not called to run the church. Nor is he called to just listen to complaints. He is called to minister to you in your time of need. If he can pray with you, encourage you, or give Spiritual advice, please call him in your time of need. Call the Church at 843-726-3631.

This is the covenant that our Deacons adopted for their ministry at Great Swamp Baptist Church.
Read it, encourage your Deacons, and stay in prayer for them.
