Deacons - Feb Update!

Deacon of the Week

Deacon Organizational Chart and Ministry Team Assignments

Oakdale family,

Incredible things are taking place at Oakdale and the opportunities to serve the Lord are numerous! I want to encourage each of you to seek Gods face pertaining to fulfilling our mission as church in "Sharing Jesus".

The deacon ministry team requests your continued prayer support as we endeavor to be servant leaders through our transition toward a senior pastor. We are so blessed to have Dr. Purcell and his wife Terri with us to lead and give guidance to the church as we very intentionally move towards the plan that God has commissioned for Oakdale. Please place Dr.Purcell in your daily prayers.

As I have said many times in the past, please let us know if you ever have need of anything and thanks for your prayers.

In His service,

Tim

There will be nine (9) deacons who will be elected from the adult male membership of Oakdale Baptist church, who possess the scriptural qualifications as found in I Timothy 3:8-13 and Acts 6: 1-8. Deacons will be elected for a term of three years with one-third of the number being elected each year. . . . . Deacons will at all times consider themselves as servants of the church. With the pastor, and as the Holy Spirit may direct, they are to consider and make recommendations to the church in all matters pertaining to its work and progress: including oversight of the discipline of the church; assisting the pastor in the observance of the ordinances, having general oversight over the upkeep, repair and use of the church property, and supervising the financial program of the church. (Excerpt from the Oakdale Baptist Church constitution.)
