Church Leadership: Deacons // Ekklesia

What is a deacon? Why does the Bible establish this role in the life of the church? In this sermon from 1 Timothy 3:8–13 and Acts 6:1–7, Pastor Evan Bialk explores the biblical office of deacon—its purpose, qualifications, and modern application. Learn how deacons preserve unity, serve practical needs, and reflect the servant-heart of Jesus. Discover how Bethel Baptist Church is expanding its vision for deacon ministry to include care, hospitality, and mercy—not just facilities and finance. This message is part of the Ekklesia: God’s Design for His Church series.
