Deacons
Deacons are members of the First United community who have been elected to serve as the "spiritual caregivers" of our church family. Every member of the church is assigned to the care of a Deacon who will accompany them on their journey of life and faith.
The Deacons' mission is to nurture the spiritual and emotional life of the church community by creating a culture of care and acceptance. Deacons strive to spread the radical love and healing of God through opportunities to connect and support each other during the many stages of life – childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, raising families, managing relationships, exploring and developing careers, and aging with dignity. The deacon’s mission is to accompany all people on their journey of life and faith, in their joys and in their confusion, loneliness, and sorrow.
