Our deacons at First Baptist Church Saratoga are guided by the biblical qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3. They serve as faithful, servant-hearted leaders who play a vital role in the life and ministry of our church.
They care for the needs of our people, support and encourage the pastor, and help cultivate unity, stability, and purpose within the body. Through their service, they reflect Christ’s love in action, embodying the hands and feet of Jesus.
We are thankful for our deacons and the blessing they are to our church family.
