Deacons Ministry

Our Deacons Ministry consists of men who are active in all aspects of our church life, men of integrity who love the Lord, are compassionate, and have a servant’s heart, as well as men of prayer. The heritage of deacon service goes back to New Testament times. Our deacons serve the Lord by serving the congregation of Mount Nebo Missionary Baptist Church. (For the scriptural qualifications, please read Acts 6:3 and 1 Timothy 3: 8-13.)
