About Us
Our Deacons
Our deacons help turn ministry into action.
Our deacons lead and support many ministries throughout the congregation, helping meet practical needs and ensuring ministry opportunities continue to serve our church family and community effectively.
Whether serving in missions, youth programs, benevolence, facilities, technology, education, worship, fellowship, or outreach, our deacons play an important role in helping our congregation fulfill its mission.
"For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith."
— 1 Timothy 3:13

We'd Love to Meet You!
One of the greatest strengths of Champions is the relationships that are built here.
Our elders and deacons are not distant leaders—they worship, serve, pray, and grow alongside the congregation every week. We encourage you to introduce yourself, ask questions, and get to know them personally.
