Our Leadership - Deacons
The deacons form the larger body of office-bearers in Deeside. With the elders the deacons are responsible for the spiritual oversight of the fellowship but have a particular focus on financial and practical matters. Deacons are nominated by the members of the fellowship and appointed subject to a vote by the membership. The term of office for a deacon is 3 years although the position of treasurer is not limited to a 3 year term.
