The Purpose of the City Church Diaconate
The City Church Deacons address aggravated needs (primarily physical needs) within the City Church community and more broadly in the downtown Gainesville community. Deacons address these needs for the sake of God's glory and the flourishing of the people he has created. Although deacons take the lead role in addressing these needs, they seek to mobilize and organize the church community so we can all play a role in serving one another.

Diaconal responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Caring for those in financial distress (including administration of the City Church benevolence fund)
