FBCVA Deacons

In accordance with the description and work of deacons, as described in the New Testament, it shall be the mission of the deacon ministry of First Baptist Church Van Alstyne to humbly serve the body of Christ by assisting and supporting the pastor and staff in the performance of their ministerial duties as they lead the congregation on a life-transforming journey to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. 

The deacons will strive to preserve unity within the church, act as ministry consultants and spiritual advisers, and minister to the church and community through acts of service. This will be demonstrated by Christ-like consecration, loyalty, prayer support, and faithfulness to the local church program.
