The work of a deacon is intended to be an extension of the ministers' work. Deacons promote personal contact among members by means of Neighborhood Networks, which are groups of members from the same geographical area assigned to one or two deacons who will keep in touch with them. Deacons try to share in their joys, sorrows, and any needs that arise which can benefit from some Church intervention. Our Board of Deacons are visible in many ways in the life of Overbrook Church.
Ways We Serve:This Board of Deacons consists of 30 members serving 3 year terms, each assigned a network neighborhood. They meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month except July and August.
