"It is the duty of
deacons, first of all, to minister to those who are in
need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may
be in distress. They shall assume such other duties as
may be delegated to them from time to time by the
Session."
– The Book of Church

Our Mission and Duty as Deacons
The ministry of the Deacons at Grace is to provide care
and service to the families of the congregation. This is
accomplished through a Parish system where the families
of the congregation are divided into geographical parish
groups with one Deacon overseeing each Parish.
Assistance is provided in the areas of transportation
needs, calling on the sick and elderly, sharing news of
the church and providing financial assistance in
emergency situations.
