Deacons Ministry

About
Scripture has designated that it be the Deacons of the church who lead the church in meeting the physical needs of people. In using the word lead what we mean is that it is every Christian's responsibility to care for the needy but it is the Deacons who are especially called to help regulate how the church carries that mandate out. Diaconal Ministries are those ministries which are overseen by the Deacons of Old Cutler. Each one works to meet the needs of the congregation of Old Cutler and our community.
