The Importance of Having Both Deacons and Deaconesses
I think northwest Georgia uses in their overture is Acts chapter 6 verse 2 the 12th summoned the full number of the disciples and said it is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. When there is no deaconate the duties of the deaconate fall to the elders, so a church that's intentionally avoiding this isn't doing what scripture calls good. Some who make them the most of especially the mercy ministry of the deacons make the least of ordination which is strange. I don't think churches should be led by officers chosen by the congregation not by professionals and and staff but that's a that's a value judgment I won't do that
