At Holy Trinity, he serves to cultivate the servant ministry of the whole church. As Deacon he is an associate of the bishop, a minister of charity and worship. He exercises his ministry in the world by encouraging his congregation to do things that represent "The Good News" and lead to outreach in the community.

Frequently engaging in continuing education opportunities improves his role as a deacon in the world. He has enthusiastically and synergistically served with his total ministry team members in the church and all his neighbors in communities inside and outside the walls of the church.
