Deacons 

​

The Deacons are the lay pastors of our congregation. They are the caring, supporting team. Every member of First Pres. is assigned one or more deacons who come along side in times of celebration as well as in times of need. Deacons are assigned according to location. Contact the church office at 818.360.1831 to find out who your deacon is.
