Our elected deacons are at the heart of caring for our WCPC church family. Annually, EVERY WCPC member is assigned to a currently serving deacon. Your deacon will do their best to reach out periodically to check on you/your family, but if you need them in the interim, please reach out through their contact information with joys, concerns, or needs for church functions you are helping to coordinate. They will get you connected!
