Our Deacons

With a group of any size naturally comes a great deal of work, often done behind the scenes.  The New Testament term deacon comes from a word that literally means “servant” or “support.”  In Acts 6:1-6, men were selected by the church in Jerusalem to make sure that the ongoing physical needs of the group were met.  Elders aided by deacons –men who meet particular God-given qualities and are chosen to fill various roles of service–became a pattern in churches throughout the New Testament (1 Timothy 3:8-13).  Our deacons are an important part of our work and growth as a local church.

The Laurel Canyon church is served by (from left to right) Dewayne Campbell, David Ferry, Eric Tustin, Bob Davis, and Kevin Joy.
