2. Encouraging Church Unity: Deacons cultivate unity within FBC Longview by demonstrating support for the pastoral leadership and church members through lovingly truthful conversations, biblical conflict resolution, and accountability practices.
3. Administration of Ordinances: They assist in administering the ordinances of the church by organizing and distributing the Lord's Supper as requested by the lead pastor, as well as overseeing or assisting with baptisms as needed.
