Broadmoor Baptist Church is accepting nominations for Deacon positions from August 2nd to August 16th. Our Deacons play a vital role in caring for the physical needs of our community and guiding others towards hearts of service. We are seeking male nominees who embody the qualities of a Deacon, including being worthy of respect, able to hold the mystery of the faith, and faithful to the calling of being a Deacon. If you know someone who meets these qualifications and is active in our Broadmoor community, we encourage you to nominate them for this important role.
Deacons are called by the Church to serve, to unify and to lead. They promote peace, harmony and cooperation among our members by extending pastoral care throughout our Congregation and by serving as leaders throughout our ministries.
