This morning our church installed three deacons.
Since our church is relatively young, these three men are also
the first deacons of Peninsula Bible Church, making
it a pretty special honor.
Jason was one of them!
"Deacon" literally means servant, and that aptly
describes Jason. He tries to meet whatever
needs he can whenever he can.
The qualifications of being a deacon come from 1 Tim. 3:8-12~
Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
