Hello! My name is Jackie Kowal; it is my honor to serve as Deacon again at Emmaus Baptist Church. I love serving people, and truly look forward to working with the congregation and community, helping those draw near to the Lord. God is my strength and refuge all the days of my life. I have been a member of Emmaus for 20 years. The lord is with us every day, we just need to reach out to him and have a relationship with him.
Psalm 95 verse 2 says "Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!"

Proverbs 3:5-6 reads “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding, in all thyways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths”.

Hello my name is Donald Estes, and as a member of Emmaus Baptist Church my desire is to serve my fellow members to the best of my ability. As a new deacon I'm sure I have a lot to learn, so please be patient with me.
My priority is to not only to serve Emmaus Church but also to serve my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to the best of my ability. As most of you already know I have a passion for fishing and hunting and also spending lots of time outdoors. I also feel so blessed to have so many friends and family. Peace be with you and family.

Hello, my name is Dayne McNabb. I am once again honored to serve as a Deacon for Emmaus Baptist Church. It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to serve this congregation that I enjoy being a part of.
1st Peter 4:10 says "Each should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms". This verse is special to me because I feel my gift is the enjoyment and happiness I get from helping others. If you have any needs or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
John 12:26 states "Whoever serves me must follow me and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me".

My wife Teresa and I moved to New Kent from North Carolina in October of 2024. We knew even before settling in that we would be visiting EBC. After a couple of visits, we knew we would be joining.
We are glad we did.
As a retired Baptist pastor, I know well the importance and value of good deacon ministry. Done well, it advances the church's mission, even as it cares for its members. I have seen and experienced such ministry here at EBC, and I am grateful for it.
I am humbled by the call to serve EBC church as a deacon. And because the specific duties of deacon ministry differ in various churches, I will be looking to our pastor and my fellow deacons during this next year for guidance in the work as it is done here. With their help and the church's prayers and support, I pledge to do my best in this vocation.
