About Our Leadership
Board of Trustees
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." – Malachi 3:10
Our Board of Trustees' vision is to see Devoe Street Baptist Church become a total tithing church giving unto God a portion of what he has blessed us with to do the great work God would have us to do as Christians. God entrusts us with time, talent, treasure, and his temple, to increase our efforts in building God’s kingdom by assisting ministries to grow their programs of service to the community, especially the underserved and disadvantaged. As well as, to ensure God’s house is maintained in divine order financially, administratively, legally, environmentally, and structurally.

Board of Deacons
"Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood." – Acts 20:28
Board of Deacons serves in support of the pastorate in shaping the vision of the church in worship, as spiritual leaders, and giving guidance to all ministries and discipleship groups of the church. We are tremendously blessed to have deacons called by God, to serve and care for His people at the Devoe Street Baptist Church.
