Lastly I'd like to say to you that I covet your prayers and the reason for that is; I've just been diagnosed with Addison's Disease. May I ask you to remember me in your prayers? I prefer God's touch to having to take Medication or any of the Symptoms that happen to the body from this Addison's Disease. I appreciate you and your prayers so very much.
Corner Stone Tabernacle invites you to come be apart of our Family, just check out the Calendar and you can see the Services and/or Events. Come on in, we're expecting you.
Until next time; Rapture Ready-Bro. Eddie

Qualifications:
Deacons
The deacons are chosen from among the congregation to “serve the church” in the practical, spiritual, and temporal matters of the body of believers.
Deacons
A person’s life and character must pass certain criteria before qualifying one to serve. The Scriptures dictate the qualifications.
1. The deacon must be chosen from “among you” (Acts 6:3), a lay member of Corner Stone Tabernacle for at least 1 year.
2. The deacon must be of good reputation, “of honest report” (Acts 6:3, KJV). The confidence and trust of the congregation and community are essential.
3. The deacon is in a spiritual ministry, “full of the Spirit” (Acts 6:3), according to Acts 2:4, and continuing to be “filled” (Ephesians 5:18).
4. The deacon is required to make decisions in practical and temporal matters as well as giving support to the pastor in spiritual matters, so sound direction and wise counsel need “wisdom” (Acts 6:3).
5. The deacon must be willing to be involved in the work of God through the church; the deacon is to “serve” (Acts 6:2, KJV).
6. The deacon is to be “sincere” (1 Timothy 3:8), i.e., steadfast and serious.
7. The deacon is “not double-tongued” (1 Timothy 3:8, KJV), i.e., must be as good as one’s word, dependable.
8. The deacon is “not indulging in much wine” (1 Timothy 3:8), but is temperate, not depending on physical stimulants.
9. The deacon is “not pursuing dishonest gain” (1 Timothy 3:8), but faithful with the tithe, generous, and not motivated by money.
10. The deacon is proper in doctrine, keeping “hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience” (1 Timothy 3:9), fully subscribing to the tenets of faith of Corner Stone Tabernacle.
11. The deacon is a mature believer, “and let these also first be proved” (1 Timothy 3:10, KJV).
12. The deacon has not experienced matrimonial mix-ups, but is in a faithful, monogamous marriage (1 Timothy 3:12).
13. Deacons lead their homes in Christ, “ruling their children and their own houses well” (1 Timothy 3:12).
14. Spouses of deacons must be an example of the Christian life, “not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything” (1 Timothy 3:11).
Trustees
The trustees are chosen from among the congregation to be custodians of the church property and serve as signatories.
Board of Advisers
The Board of Advisers shall be chosen to assist the pastor in the church if/when there is insufficient number of adults to qualify as deacons.
Official Board
The pastor and deacons shall be the official board of the Corner Stone Tabernacle. In the event the church does not have a Board of Deacons, the official board shall be that board elected to serve with the pastor.
Please check back often and we'll alert you when the Qualification list is complete.
