What is the LPMBC Deacons Family Ministry?
It is a plan by which the deacons can join with Pastor Maxwell and church staff in ministering to the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of each church member and family.
Church family members are assigned by zones which are coordinated by a deacon leader who will minister to them as needed over a period of time.
Why is the Deacons Family Ministry needed?
Because we care for you and your family. The pastor and deacons of LPMBC are committed to assuring that every member–individually and collectively–in our church experience the love and support of the entire congregation. We desire to continue being known throughout the community as a loving and caring church.
