Diaconate Ministry

Meeting: Every 1st Saturday at 1 p.m.

​

“In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must be first tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.” 

1 Timothy 3:8-10 (NIV)

​

At The Hill, Deacons are committed, visible, approachable, accountable and strive to serve in 5-star excellence. We impart and create impact. We assist with the preparation of the Holy Sacraments, caring for the poor, the sorrowing, the stranger, visiting the sick and ministering to the spiritual interests of the church and community. Most importantly, deacons are called to serve the people of God and to be the lead vision carriers of his vision. We have a special responsibility to be our Bishop Designate's armor-bearers, and to work alongside him in meeting all goals and objectives for our congregation.

“Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.”
Joshua 1:11 (BSB)

The Joshua Generation is composed of our older youth and young adults. They are a group of brilliant minded leaders that are determined to see the promises of God come to pass in their lives. They use their creativity, passion, talents and gifts to turn dreams and ideas into reality. They understand they are a chosen generation for such a time as this. Therefore, it is our responsibility at The Hill to educate, equip and empower our youth and young adults with biblical principles and practical strategies as they go out to change their communities, circles of influence and make their global footprint on the world.

Kingdom & Jr. Knights Men's Ministry

​​

“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

Proverb 27:17 (KJV) 

​

A knight was expected to have the strength and skills to face combat and also be of great character. The Knights Code of Chivalry was a moral system that went beyond the rules of combat. Qualities such as bravery, courtesy, honor and gallantry toward women, were the hallmarks of knighthood. Some knights became mercenaries for hire while others decided to pledge themselves to defending the Christian faith. Count the Kingdom Knights of The Hill are among those who stand for Christ and the Word of God. 

The goals of the Kingdom Knights are:

• To be a ministry for service

• To witness and praise the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ

• To mentor the young men in need of guidance

• To encourage all males to become involved and participate in Christian activities

• To help others outside the fold to come in and give their life to Christ.

• The objectives of the Men’s Ministry are:

• To serve the church in any capacity as required

• To meet, learn, fellowship and uplift the Lord with praise and worship

• To form a cohesive bond among all men

​

Mother's Council

Meetings: Every Monday at 10:00 am 

​

“The older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—  that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,  to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.”

Titus 2:3-5 (NKJV)

​

The Mother’s Council is responsible for praying for the Bishop Designate and others as assigned. They visit the sick and shut-in, and call and connect with members who have lapsed in their attendance. In addition, they are responsible for the Pastor and First Family’s special occasions; Birthdays, Anniversaries, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Luke 14:23

We are developing strategies and partnerships within the Kingdom and community that will assist us in eliminating and tearing down any hinderances or barriers that would prevent us from reaching the masses to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are called to be active and engaged in our community and to redirect the loss, to give hope to the hopeless and to guide sinners to salvation.
