Show Notes

How do you train and develop healthy deacons? In part two of this series, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss how pastors can equip deacons for effective ministry within their local churches.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why intentional deacon training is essential
How to communicate your church’s vision and ministry philosophy
Practical ways to equip deacons to shepherd, pray for, and encourage others in their service to the church
Why trust and healthy communication help strengthen the pastor-deacon relationship
How meaningful ministry responsibilities help deacons thrive
