Leadership at Stone
Those who serve at Stone Church as elected officers and members of committees are the keys to our ministry. Accepting a role in the church's leadership is an appropriate response to Christ's call for all the people of God to be ministers of the Gospel. Because our leadership is broad-based, employing the gifts of many people across the full scope of the church's ministry and mission, there are places for every interest, every talent, every person.

Deacons
The office of Deacon is set forth in Scripture as one of sympathy, witness and service, after the example of Jesus Christ. Deacons are elected by the congregation and are ordained as officers of the church. The Deacons focus on a ministry of care to the congregation, assisting the pastors in bringing the presence of the church to the needs of God's people. There are 21 adult Deacons and from one to three youth Deacons at Stone; as with Elders, each Deacon serves a three year term. Here is a more detailed overview of Deacon Led Events and Responsibilities.

If you are interested in serving as a Deacon, please contact the church office.

The Deacon's Prayer Chain is a confidential service of Stone Church in which Deacons individually pray daily for those in need of our prayers. For 2012-13, to add yourself or a loved one who requests prayer to the list, call or email Fran Cole or Laraine Pitcher with your information. We will make the addition and confirm that with you. You will then be contacted monthly for any changes to be made, or to be removed from the list when your special need for prayer has passed.
