With towel and basin, deaconesses and deacons reach out to those at the margins of society, providing hospitality, hope, and care for physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
The LDA leads the church in recognizing its call to service. The LDA's diaconal programs prepares and equips people for servant leadership; supports those serving within our diaconate; lifts up and encourages those who serve their communities; and provides resources for the whole people of God.
