Feb 15, 2026    Pastor Josh Wootton

When deacons serve well, the church thrives.


In this message from our Know the Church series, we explore Qualifications for Deacons from 1 Timothy 3:8–13. Paul lays out clear expectations for those who serve in the office of deacon, showing how faithful, tested, and godly service supports the health of the local church and advances the gospel.


This sermon explains what deacons are, why their character matters, and how healthy deacons contribute to a healthy church. As Scripture teaches, those who serve well gain both a good standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
