Care & Support - Deacon Ministry

"Supporting each other in providing sympathy, witness and service after the example of Jesus Christ."

Jesus Christ commanded his people to, "Love one another, as I have loved you" (John 13:34). At First Pres. the Deacon Ministry desires to live out this command by serving those in our church and surrounding community who have special needs. These needs may be caring for those who’ve lost a loved one, visiting shut-in members, or attending to physical needs such as food or shelter.

In addition, the Deacon Ministry also provides Christmas baskets for needy families in the community, coordinates the delivery of Sunday morning flower arrangements to shut-in members, and prepares the Lord’s Supper elements weekly at Sunday services.

The Deacon Ministry also has various hospital equipment items that are available for loan to our members. If you have a temporary need, please contact the church office at (818) 360-1831 to check on availability of these items.
