Deacons
The deacons are here to serve those who are:
- In need of transportation to get to worship or doctor appointments
- Currently or recently hospitalized
- Temporarily in need of hot meals at home
- Cheered by a greeting card in the mail
- Planning a memorial service reception
The deacons are grateful to have been called by God to serve. They are elected by the congregation to serve a three-year term to care and serve individuals of the community. The deacons are ordained for life.
Below are additional responsibilities of the WPC Deacons

Nursing Home Ministry – On the second Sunday of each month, these members visit with the residents of Palm Gardens Assisted Living at 2:00p.m. and The Californian at 3:00p.m..
Ushering – The deacon serves as the coordinator for ushering, recruiting members of the church to assist with head ushering duties each week.
