Abstract

The purpose of this project was to equip selected deacons of Macedonia Baptist Church, Petal, Mississippi, with basic deacon ministry competencies. After researching related biblical texts, existing models of deacon training, and selected resources in the field of study, the project director produced a curriculum for equipping deacons. Credentialed experts in church ministry, curriculum design, and leader training provided helpful evaluation and insight in the research and development of the project director’s curriculum. Using this curriculum, I trained selected deacons during a five-session workshop held on a Friday evening and Saturday morning. Research in the field of study revealed a consensus for six basic deacon ministry competencies: benevolence, conflict resolution, evangelism, family ministry, ordinances, and partnering with the pastor. These six competencies undergird the various responsibilities deacons are expected to fulfill at Macedonia Baptist Church.
