How can I serve? Areas of ministry.

Deaconesses serve in many ways – as teachers, counselors, administrators, health professionals, Christian educators, youth workers, information specialists, ecumenists, and more. They serve in congregations, synod offices, hospitals, social service agencies, outdoor ministries, caring institutions, universities, and more.

Deaconesses, along with other diaconal ministries, are the church outside the church and, often times, are the church’s face in society.

Churches and organizations can contact the deaconess herself, the synod or our office in Chicago to find just the right woman to serve.
