The Process Of Becoming A Sojourn Deacon document

Deacons within Sojourn are servant-leaders recognized for their service, their leadership, and their character. They must meet the requirements of 1 Timothy 3:8-13 and they must be functionally serving as a leader in the ministry area for which they have been called.  After being asked and prayerfully accepting, a deacon candidate will enter a training process with their direct ministry leader.

The deacon process is designed to provide uniformity as to how Sojourn calls, equips, and releases its leaders.  While there is uniformity to the process, each ministry leader – at his own discretion – should apply appropriate training according to the ministry area.
