- DEACONESS MINISTRY--FAITH IN ACTION!
Deaconesses wash the feet of the world. With towel and basin, deaconesses reach out to those at the margins of society, providing hospitality, hope, and care for physical and spiritual needs.
Every church can see service as central to its identity and its calling as God’s people. The LDA trains and supports deaconesses for servant leadership. It also encourages the whole people of God in their diaconal life. It leads the church in recognizing its call to diakonia. And the LDA provides resources to support you.
Valparaiso deaconess students gathered to form their servant identity at Student Seminar this summer. They journey together in community, growing in faith and gaining service experience. Learn more about what is a deaconess, here...
