The deacons serve in leadership in the service to the church which includes bringing in others to serve with them.
The office of Deacon is a God ordained role in the church as a means of provision to the church body (Acts 6:1-4).  They are complimentary to the Session Board.  The MPC Deacon Board is made up of men and women as well as 2 student Deacons (juniors in high school).
   
The duty given to the Deacons is to be the church's instrument for the ministry of compassion, through sympathy and service.  This includes, but is not limited to:

• Care and compassion – Deacons are an active part of the visitation team as they each maintain contact with at least one member of the church, primarily but not solely homebound. They often help serve at funerals and reach out to members that have various needs through different means. 
• Hospitality – Deacons organize, serve and oversee the café Sunday mornings, some special events, the annual church picnic, ushering and greeting on Sunday mornings, as well as sanctuary upkeep. 
• Prayer – our Deacons are all  members of the prayer warrior prayer chain that are committed to pray over the prayer requests that are submitted. Deacons also regularly send out prayer requests as they come to the prayer warrior prayer chain. Deacons oversee the Prayer Room Sign-ups for Sunday morning Service coverage. 
• Mission – our Deacons maintain regular contact with various mission partners in the field. 
• Transportation – Deacons do not provide transportation but can give referral to different community resources that do.
