Each year the Deacons of the First Reformed Church serve the church by offering care, support, and prayer to those in need. Their ministry reflects the heart of Christ through compassion, encouragement, and practical help.
Through our benevolence fund, the deacons are able to support not only in our local community, but around the world. All requests are handled with confidentiality, wisdom, and kindness.
The goal of our deacons and benevolence ministry is to share the love of Jesus in real and tangible ways, meeting needs both near and far and helping people experience God’s care wherever they are.
