On Sunday July 11, 2021 at 6:30 PM, Dover Baptist Church held an ordination ceremony for our two new deacons. We had roughly 70 in attendance. It was a very moving service. The first step in the life of a deacon. Bro. Brian Turner and Bro. Elias Hernandez were ordained as deacons. Afterwards, there was a nice reception/dinner held for them in the Family Life Center.
