Supervising Pastor/Deacon & MAP Conference

Missional Impact

The role of deacon is an important aspect of the mission of the church. Seeing the ministry as missional will help create moments of connection between people and the Gospel. We will be looking at our understanding of mission and the possibilities of deacons to champion missional work in the community.
