The New Testament teaches that in addition to elders, congregations of the Lord's people, appointed servants referred to as "deacons" (Philippians 1:1). Like elders, these men are to be appointed based upon qualifications that are spelled out in Scripture (1 Timothy 3:8-13). These men carry out various works of service to the church. The men appointed to this work at Olsen Park have met the qualifications of Scripture and serve the congregation faithfully in this work.
