Every member of Allen Temple has a Deacon who walks alongside them through prayer, care, and practical support. “Meet Your Deacon” is a simple, joyful way to put faces to names, get connected, and learn how the Deacons Ministry serves our congregation through natural and spiritual acts of service.

What to Expect

  • Connect: Meet or reconnect with your assigned Deacon.
  • Learn: Hear how the Deacons Ministry partners with members and ministries across ATBC.
  • Fellowship: Enjoy light refreshments and time together as a church family.
  • Celebrate: Don’t miss door prizes and a raffle!

Need help finding your Deacon? We’ll have friendly volunteers onsite to assist.
