UPCOMING EVENTS

The Deacon Ministry of Salem Baptist Church is grounded in Acts 6:1-6 and 1 Timothy 3:8-13.  The word “deacon” is from the Greek word “diakonos” best translated as “servant.”  As we begin the Deacon Recommendation process, we are asking God to call out men who are servants to serve in this essential role in the health of our church.

According to our By-Laws, Deacon Recommendations will begin May 1, 2021, and conclude on May 31, 2021.  Those men recommended should be a member of our church family no less than one year by September 1, 2021, and be at least 25 years of age.

The following men are currently serving through our Deacon Ministry and are not eligible for recommendation:

Serving Through 2021 • Brian Barger, Bud Ford, John Fugate, Mike Karnes, RG Lewallen, Patrick Pollock, Burl Stafford, Austin Wheat

Serving Through 2022 • Erech Atchley, Tony Brooks. Rodney Davis, Blaine Haston, John Hill, Gene Parrott, Chad Quick, Eddie Stooksbury

Serving Through 2023 • Arvin Bakker, Scott Hill, Phil Keller, Allen Miles, Greg Moyers, Stan Nalley, John Spencer, Jonathan Woodall

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Members of Salem Baptist Church may recommend up to eight (8) men to serve as a Deacon for a three-year term beginning September 1, 2021. Fewer recommendations than eight (8) are permitted.
2. Prayerfully read through Acts 6:1-6 and 1 Timothy 3:8-13.
3. Return a completed Deacon Recommendation Form to the church office or Offering Box no later than Sunday, May 30, 2021. Recommendations will not be received after that date.
