Deacons are church members elected to a leadership role by the whole church for a limited period. They have a pastoral concern for all church members as well as discussing other church business matters. They don't take decisions, that can only be done by the Church Meeting, made up of all church members which is the ultimate authority in the church, but they sometimes present the Church Meeting with questions or recommendations that have arisen from their discussions. They play a vital role in making sure that the Pastor has the support of the church, helping to shape the vision of where the church is going, and offering advice and feedback. Many of our older church members have been Deacons in the past but they are keen that the church is now led by a new generation. There are currently five deacons:
