The Deacons
Our congregation is self-governing. Anyone can serve. Anyone can lead. We have the freedom to create programs and activities, serve the wider community and use resources in ways that make a difference. Together, we discern God’s call and live out our faith.
The Deacons are responsible for leading the congregation’s care of its members. Often this effort focuses on our elder members, many of whom are homebound or face other challenges. However, Deacons facilitate the care of the whole congregation and have systems to respond to the needs of all ages. If you would like to learn more about the Deacons or any of its ministries, please send an email to: mpucengage@gmail.com.
