So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to the others. Romans 12:5

The Westport Road Baptist Church Deacon body serves by conducting the caring ministry of the church-doing benevolent work, visiting the sick, being alert to the needs of the congregation. Our deacons serve on one of five teams to meet the needs of our church family.

Touchpoint Team

Even church members don’t always know where to turn; this team is geared toward bringing each member closer into the fellowship and ministry of the church. They ensure all church members have access to all the resources provided by the church. This team works with the ministers, staff, other deacon teams, Sunday school teachers and other church members to provide a point of contact for existing resources and ministries available throughout the church body.

Connection Team

Remember when you joined WRBC and the reasons why? This team strives to ensure each new member has that same experience by welcoming them, assisting them in finding fellowship with a small group and finding a place to serve within the church body. They work to welcome, integrate and follow-up with all new church members.

Helping Hands Team

This team serves to meet the special needs of church members. The Helping Hands team is equipped in knowing the special skills and talents of willing church members to provide transportation, lawn care, and home repair, to provide food or help needed during an illness.

Hope Team

In times of great need; a hand to hold, a hug, a warm meal, a word of encouragement or of sympathy buoys us. This team serves church members experiencing stays in the hospital or rehabilitation centers. They also serve those families in times of bereavement.

Extended Arms Team

For our members unable to attend Sunday services –those in nursing homes and our shut-ins, this team reaches out to provide communion and deliver sermon CD’s. This team ensures that these members are cared for by their church family and visit regularly.
