Mission Statement

We acknowledge the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ and on the profession of our faith; do joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body In faith, hope and salvation. [To God be the Glory!]

We Know the Holy Spirit will empower us to perform our duties in Christian love; we shall strive for the advancement of the Deacon' ministry in knowledge and holiness; to give place in our prayers and services above every organization of human origin. We will ensure worship is sustained through stewardship, the ordinances, discipline and doctrine. Knowing that God loves a cheerful giver and that he who 'soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly' so we will contribute regularly, not grudgingly but bountifully to the building of God's Kingdom, and the support of Mount Hebron Baptist Church.

We believe that God has prospered us to support a faithful evangelical ministry that seeks the relief of the poor, sick-&-shut-in, elderly, bereaved, and fatherless and all whom we encounter that we may spread the Gospel of Christ through the world.

When there is a difference of opinion within the Deacon's Ministry, we will strive to avoid a CONTENTIOUS SPIRIT and cheerfully recognize the right of the majority to govern. We consent to maintain family and secret devotion; to study diligently the word of God, to religiously educate our children, to seek the salvation of mankind; to walk circumspectly in the world and faithful in the service we promise others;
endeavoring in the purity of heart and good will towards all men to exemplify and commend our holy faith.

We agree to watch over, pray for, to exhort and stir up each other unto every good word and work; to guard each others and the Pastor' reputation, not needlessly exposing the infirmities of others; to participate in each other's joys, and tender sympathy bear one another's burden and sorrows; to cultivate Christian courtesy; to seek to live to the Glory of God, who hath called us into His marvelous light and the service of Mount Hebron Baptist Church. [To God be the Glory!l
