The Deacons at Providence serve in a servant-ministry role.  Although the Deacons are the official "board" of the church for corporate purposes, they are organized into ministry teams to serve the congregation, the community, and persons either in the congregation and or in the community who have special needs.

The 2012 Deacon Officers are:

Chair:  Tom Philson
Chair-Elect:  Mark Noonan
Secretary:  Suzanne Lail
