Deacons are responsible to administer the ordinary business, secular affairs, and benevolent concerns of the church so that the elders may devote themselves without distraction to the duties of their office. The deacons must fulfill the duties of their office in cooperation with, and subjection to, the elders. That takes on many forms. Some of the things they do are oversee the finances, including the annual budget and the collection and distribution of our benevolence funds; they take care of the building, including organizing work days and overseeing the use and reservation of the facility; and they keep in touch with our homebound members, delivering the Lord's Supper when necessary.

At the current time, we have two deacons.

• Jonathan Damron has been a member of Faith Baptist since 1995. Before becoming a Deacon, he served on the missions committee and taught several Sunday school terms. He has been recognized as a Deacon since 2007. He has and his wife, Michele, have two sons, Jordan and Jared.

• Desmond Gilmore has been a member of Faith Baptist since 2007. Before becoming a Deacon, he served as a Youth Teacher, Impact Leader, and the most popular Vacation Bible School teacher. He has been recognized as a Deacon since 2010. He has and his wife, Karene, have been married for over a year and do not, yet, have any children.
