The office of Deacon is set forth in scripture as one of sympathy, witness and service after the example of Jesus Christ. It is the duty of Deacons first of all to minister to those in need, to the sick, to the friendless and any that are in distress. The Board of Deacons is structured with officers and commissions to carry out their work.

The board currently consists of the following members: Susan Kalen, Brian Lawhead, Jeanne Maddux, Lonny Marney, Michele Marney, Lily Miller, Terry Reichardt, Jack Schnurr, Chelsea Walker, Gary Walker, Jim Williams and Norma Wivoda.
