Deacons first came on the scene in Acts as the early church leaders began to see that there were people who were being overlooked in the congregation and needed care. At Christ Presbyterian we have elected officers who lead in caring for our church and these men are supported and helped by many who minister through Fellowship Groups, Women's, Men's and Youth ministries.

 

And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."

 

Acts 5:42-6:6

 

 

Finding Care

 

If you are in need of care, Christ Presbyterian offers the following avenues of care:

 

Emergency Pastoral Care

 

For emergency pastoral care needs during regular business hours, call 770-212-0110 and your message will be given to the pastor or elder on call.

 

Examples of emergencies include death, illness (including hospital visit requests), marital crises, domestic violence, child abuse or other personal crises.

 

Theological Questions or Prayer

 

Take the opportunity to join one of our Fellowship groups, where you can find people who will pray with you and help you answer your questions.

Come and talk to any of our elders or pastors following our Sunday service.
