Today marks a beautiful milestone for Grace Bible Church! We are overjoyed to announce the official ordination of two dedicated servants who have spent years pouring their hearts into our community.
Please join us in celebrating and praying for our new deacons as they step into this official calling.
Meet Our Deacons
Charles Msimbi
Charles has been a steady pillar of our church family for years. His commitment to service is matched only by his love for his family. We are blessed to have him, his wife Jane, and their daughter Madalitso walking this journey with us.
Patrick Chiwalo
A face familiar to us all, Patrick has defined what it means to be a "faithful servant." Having spent the last year serving as our Pastoral intern, his transition into the diaconate is a natural extension of his deep-rooted passion for the Gospel and our congregation.
What This Means for Our Church
The office of Deacon is one of service, compassion, and practical leadership. By ordaining Charles and Patrick, we are affirming:
Consistency: Their years of "behind-the-scenes" work now have an official home.
Growth: Our leadership team is strengthening to better serve your needs.
Community: We are a church that recognizes and honors the gifts of its members.
"For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus." — 1 Timothy 3:13
