deacons

---

The office of deacon as set forth in Scripture is 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 who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the community of faith. . . . (from Book of Order, G-6.0401 and G-6.0402)

CHPC Deacons provide, and lead the congregation in providing, the ministry of loving care and compassion. This includes, but is not limited to the following:

• Providing the ministry of intentional visitation and attention to the home bound, hospitalized, or those in nursing homes;
• Coordinating the Care Team ministry;
• Coordinating home-bound communion;
• Being aware of concerns in the larger community and rallying us as a congregation to respond.
