DEACON ORDINATION

At Village, deacons are "servants" who try to help church families and assist with church activites, in keeping with the New Testament model.   Deacons are elected from all members of the church to serve for three-year terms, after which the deacon is not eleigible for election again for a year.  Village follows the Deacon Family Ministry Plan.  Each deacon has a "flock" of 6 to 10 families as a special focus for care.

On October 24, 2004, Village ordained three new deacons with the traditional "laying on of hands" by those already ordained.
