MOTTO
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity."
To develop a strong, functioning Brotherhood, molding it into a force for leadership and responsibility. The Brotherhood endeavors to involve all men, from children to senior citizens, to fulfill their spiritual as well as temporal potential.
They are called to serve. They give their time, energy and resources. Their services varies, but they also have certain general elements that they share with others. They receive and they give. Christian service is supported by concern, understanding and competence or skill. Concern suggests keen interest, devotion or dedication. Caring is necessary for involvement in a task and for faithful service in carrying out an assignment. One who cares deeply will direct his attention and energies toward the object of his concern.
To make an opportunity for the missionary women to be helpers together with our ministers and pastors in bringing souls to Christ. To be a comfort to those in need: to visit the widows, orphans and sick, give counsel in the fear of God, and to teach the younger women to be chaste keepers at home, and so to walk, shunning the very appearance of evil, that the gospel be not blasphemed: to labor together with the brethren in establishing churches and spreading this truth, as those women in the churches of old were helpers of Paul and the other apostles (Philippians 4:3).
The Minister's and Deacon's wife is called to be part of the total ministerial service of her husband. Together, they should pursue the will of God, the development of their leadership skills and their opportunity to serve humanity. Christ will make His Will for their ministry known. It is a call to bring the good news of salvation to the lost and hurting. It is the joy of bringing hope and healing to a weary world.
The Minister's or Deacon's wife has a special call to the service she renders. The clear need of the church today is for spiritual leadership which can inspire confidence to accomplish the divine mandate: "To be teachers of sound doctrine..." The touch that the woman brings to her husband's ministry is inestimable and irreplaceable. She provides the ingredients for enrichment and fulfillment which can inspire, motivate, enlighten and strengthen the very fabric of the spiritual life of her ministerial or deacon husband and the congregation he shepherds. The wife provides the balance, discernment, sensitivity and nurturing essential for growth and blessing.

DEACONS AND JUNIOR DEACONS
Deacons and Junior Deacons are appointed by the Pastor. They minister to the Pastor and oversee the smooth functioning of conduct, finances, administration and security, especially in the sanctuary. Deacons should be honest, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom before they are appointed as overseers of any church matters (Acts 6:3).
