The Board of Deacons consists of eight members elected by the congregation for a three year term. The primary responsibility of the deacons is to provide congregational care.  Each deacon is responsible for being a contact for specific members and friends of Kirkwood so that emotional support, prayers and other assistance can be provided as needed for all who are a part of our church family.  The Deacons communicate regularly with their assigned members and friends to foster a sense of community, friendship and fellowship at Kirkwood.
