SERVING THE CHURCH
SHEPHERDS: At the Buford congregation we currently have 8 shepherds that oversee the functioning of the church and our membership (Acts 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9). Email the Shepherds: shepherds@bufordcoc.com
DEACONS: Below you will see many men serving the Buford church family in many different ways, leading in a Deacon role. We encourage you to contact them directly to see how you can get involved in their ministries. (1 Timothy 3:8-13)
MINISTERS: Our Ministers provide encouragement, provide classes and sermons for individual and congregational Spiritual growth. Please let them know how they might help with your walk with God. They are available for personal Bible studies and counseling.
