The Deacon Nomination Team is asking the church family to make recommendations for new Deacons who will begin serving in 2026.
The New Vision Deacon Ministry is a body of ordained men committed to serving and supporting the ministries of New Vision Baptist Church for the glory of Jesus Christ. These men are nominated by the church body based on their demonstrated acts of service and obedience.
Deacon qualifications are clearly outlined in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.
"Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus."
Above all else, Deacons are men who have a strong history of being actively involved in worship, community with other believers, serving, and impacting their world for Christ. Church membership is a prerequisite for being a deacon.
Deadline for submission is Sunday, August 31st.
