Our Life & Work of Deacons conferences are two-day online events open to all deacons and deacon supporters. Meetings are usually Fridays, 7-9 pm EST and Saturdays, Noon-3 pm EST. 

​A portion of the time we’ll focus on the inner life of a deacon – who we are as deacons, and what we need to thrive.  The other portion we’ll focus on the work of the deacon – what we do!

Registration information will be available closer to each event. 

​Free for members of AED. If you register as a member but your membership has lapsed, we'll reach out to renew your membership.
