Deacons are elected servant leaders in the Presbyterian Church. At NPC, their mission is to care for the congregation, and to mobilize the congregation to care for one other. A Deacon can listen to concerns you may have, pray with you, visit you when you are ill, help you to find a ride to church or to the doctor, and help you to connect with other NPC members who live in your geographic area.
NPC’s Deacons are divided into regional teams for DC, MD and VA to best coordinate care. If you would like to receive care from the Deacons OR help the Deacons to provide care, please contact the coordinator listed below for your region:
DC: Rev. Donna Marsh, dmarsh@nationalpres.org
MD: Carolyn Gasarch, candbfrmd@yahoo.com
VA: Nilanthi Beekhuysen, nbeekh@hotmail.com
The Moderator of the Deacons is Ginny Beeson, vrbeeson@msn.com.
The staff assistant for the Deacons is Katharine Wystrach, kwystrach@nationalpres.org.
