Church Deacons

Deacons are servant-leaders. The word Deacon comes from the Greek ‘Diakonos’ meaning servant. Deacons are servants in the church who assist in the operations of the church and promote its growth by using their leadership gifts and skills.

Along with the Church Minister, the deacons form part of the Church leadership. The deacons meet a few times a year to discuss important matters relating to the church.

The Church members directly elect the deacons through a Church member's meeting. Prior to the Deacon's election, the candidate must firstly be nominated by a church member and give their consent for their name to be entered into the ballot. All newly appointed deacons are initially appointed for a three year term. There is no maximum term that an individual can serve on the Diaconate, hence they have the opportunity to be nominated for reappointment at the end of each three year term that they complete. (This is subject to them being reappointed by the church members at the end of every three year term)

There are currently 4 deacons who are serving on the Church diaconate.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone from our Welcome Team.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service (and sometimes even cake !). It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility

There is wheelchair access, and the church operates a ‘loop’ system for those with impaired hearing. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There is a disabled toilet in the main foyer.

Our Service

The Sunday service begins at 10:30am with a warm welcome from our Pastor followed by a call to worship. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our worship team. We typically start the service by singing a selection of contemporary worship songs. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church and then we have a time of prayer. Following on from this, we sing another two or three reflective songs. Our Pastor or a visiting preacher will then give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my children?

We have a great programme lined up for children of all ages:

Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
New Beginnings (4-16 years)

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. At the end of the notices someone will announce that it’s time for the children to go to Sunday School.

The children's group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play.

If you have any questions regarding our Church, then please contact us.

We hope that whoever you are, you will feel at home at our church.

God Bless You and see you very soon at Kenton Baptist Church
