Recommend Deacon Candidates

The nominating committee is requesting your help!  We are looking for your recommendations of those who should be asked to serve as Tabernacle Baptist Church deacons for a 3-year term, beginning January, 2013.  Please share with the committee those persons you recommend that are already ordained, but not currently serving, and those you wish to recommend as a good person to be considered for ordination as a new deacon.

You might use the profile below as a guide to identify those members of our church who you feel should be nominated.   You do not need to ask the members you would like to nominate about their availability to serve.  The committee will use the information for each nominee you provide and be guided by the working of the Holy Spirit in following up with nominees and in making a final recommendation to the church.

Youth Mentors Needed

The youth team is currently seeking one male adult and one female adult to serve as mentors to specific youth. Mentors are paired with one teenager to serve as encouragers and friends. This intentional model of discipleship provides a wonderful opportunity to serve and make an investment in someone’s life.  We ask that mentors make an effort to see/talk to/do something with their mentee at least one time per month.

Contact Kate Ayers, David Guion, or Julies Gaines if you are interested in serving.
