THE DEACONS

& Ministry TeamS

Our Deacons hold two year terms to lead in the five core areas of ministry at 3Stone: Caring, Communications, Education, Evangelism and Worship. They are volunteers leading a team of volunteers who are passionate about serving Christ through the church and the community. If you're interested in any of these ministries, please contact the respective Deacon(ness) to find out ways you can participate in the life of the church and serve with 3Stone.

Caring Ministry

Michael leads the Caring ministry which has an ultimate goal to warmly welcome people from all walks of life to our community at 3Stone. He oversees our ushering and hospitality teams, prayer meetings, and holiday and social events. When he is not at his day job in Finance, Michael enjoy listening to liquid dubstep, watching action movies, and collecting wristwatches. If you are interested in learning more about the caring ministry, Michael would be happy to chat with you!

Communications Ministry

Rich leads the Communications ministry which is responsible for highlighting all the things we are doing at 3Stone. This is done by managing most of the internal and external communications at 3Stone. The team handles the weekly newsletter, website, bulletins, & announcements as well as social media strategy. As a future goal, this ministry is also looking to establish partnerships with organizations in the Lower East Side so that we can better be the salt and the light in our community.

If you have an interest in design, writing, art, or technology, we’d love for you to join the team!

Evangelism Ministry

Justin leads the Evangelism Ministry at 3Stone where he coordinates outreaches, partnerships and mission efforts both domestic and abroad.

As a C&MA church, we have both a heritage and a divine calling to seek after the lost among us. The myth of evangelism is that it is reserved for the most faithful or the “special operations'' versions of Christians. The reality is that evangelism is an essential part of each believer’s life just like reading the Word, praying and worship. The evangelism team’s role is to help equip and empower the believers of 3Stone to faithfully share about the love of Christ and make the case for His lordship. By learning and putting the lessons to practice, we long to bear much fruit for His kingdom.

During downtime, Justin enjoys feasting, drawing, video games, airsoft, sports, being outdoors, lurking on Discord, joy-riding, reading history books and most importantly traveling with his fiancee Rosemary.

WORSHIP MINISTRY

Jireh leads the Worship Ministry at 3Stone which includes fostering a Christian walk that is closely tied to purposeful worship of our Lord.  This can be in the form of song, but should be prevalent in our daily life, through and in every action we undertake.  If you have any questions about what Christian worship is and what it is not, please do not hesitate in reaching out to Sook.  Professionally, he is a software designer at Atlassian.  

Education Ministry

Melody Leung is the head of the Education Ministry at 3Stone, which is a part of NYCAC. Her main goal is to help the church cultivate a closer relationship with God through the Word. She accomplishes this by collaborating with all the fellowships, regional small groups, large groups, Sunday School classes, workshops, and retreats. As a stay-at-home mom, Melody is grateful for the opportunity to serve the church during her free time. If you're interested in deepening your understanding of God and strengthening your relationship with Him, Melody is enthusiastic about assisting you.
