Preparing for a life of service
Deaconesses have a rich tradition in the Lutheran church. They’ve been around since the time of Phoebe, 是谁在几千年前支持保罗和早期教会的工作. We’ve come a long way since then, but the mission of a deaconess, as well as her life of service, has remained similar. And the need for deaconesses remains today as well. So if the Lord is calling you to be a modern-day “Phoebe,” we encourage you to check out our Pre-Deaconess program.
