What do Deacons do?

Even in the first century, pastors knew they were not big enough for the problems that would come their way. And, who did they look to for help? A team of joyful, passionate deacons. In loving the bride of Christ well, deacons are as necessary today as they ever were. But while there are many books on what deacons are and why they are important, there is a shortage of books on the "nitty-gritty" work of deacon ministry in the local church. This is why this book was written.

In On Being a Deacon, Mark Hallock and his deacons provide an immensely practical and compelling manual for how deacons should function in the local church, full of powerful examples and practical strategies. Whether you are looking to clarify the direction of your deacon ministry or hoping to build greater competency into this ministry, this book is for you.
