Deacon Ministry

We believe one of the ways Christ cares for his church is through faithful men and women who serve others with compassion, encouragement, and prayer. That’s why we are honored to reintroduce a Deacon Ministry at Peachtree.

Following the example of the early church, Deacons serve as ministers of care, helping ensure that no one in our church family is overlooked or alone. Deacons might serve in many ways, including praying for members of our congregation, serving communion to homebound members, visiting assisted living communities, writing notes of encouragement, and supporting our hospitality ministry by welcoming people on Sunday mornings.

Do you know a member of our church who demonstrates spiritual maturity, has a heart for others, and a desire to serve? We invite you to nominate individuals you believe may be called to serve as ordained Deacons.

Memorials

We want to help you before, during, and after the process of sending a loved one ahead to be with God. If you want to plan a memorial service at Peachtree, you may contact any of the pastors to begin the planning process. You will choose a venue, a date and time, and plan the order of worship with the help of a pastor. If you are unsure with whom you wish to start this process, Rev. Vicki Franch or Rev. Scott Tucker would be honored to help you.

Peachtree’s columbarium is available as a place to inter the ashes of your loved one. Contact Laura Axelson for more information.
