Deacons

We believe that God has ordained the office of deacon to oversee the ministry of the physical needs of the body and the day to day operations of the church. We believe they are to serve as co-laborers with the elders in the work of the ministry and be gifted in such a manner as to provide wisdom and mercy in attending to the ministry of the needs of the flock. We believe that these men must meet the qualifications of the office as set forth in Scripture. The deacons shall consist of members possessing the qualifications described in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.

Ken Lewis

Ken Lewis is the newest member of our Deacon Board. He is a native of Kansas City and he and his wife, Cindy, have been married for 37+ years. They have two sons, Shawn and Brian. Shawn and his wife, DeAnne, live in Yuba City, CA. Brian and his wife, Amy, live in the Kansas City area and attend FCC.

Prior to coming to Faith Community Church, Ken served on the board of overseers at another area church for eleven years. He retired from Delta Airlines, after thirty-two years, and is now employed by Voss Lighting, as a political accounts sales representative.

In the time that Ken and Cindy have been with FCC, Ken has demonstrated his heart for serving the Lord and the people of the church. He enjoys “fixing things”, relates well with people, and has simply been acclaimed by the church, to the official designation of deacon, in that he was already functioning in that capacity.

Ken loves the Lord, his family, and (his) dogs.
