“Deacons must be grave, not double tongued, nor given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a Deacon, being found blameless.” 1 Timothy 3:8,10
There are 16 ordained Deacons at Third Avenue Missionary Baptist Church. Their essential roles are assisting the Pastor in the administrative areas of the church, and the many outreach activities as well as leading out in the worship services.
