Shawmut Community

Minister Wayne Carle was installed as Interim Pastor of  Shawmut Community Church of God, Boston, MA on January 1st 2009.  He began his ministry in 1993 as Youth Minister. He has served in various roles, accepting the call to preach the Gospel. His passion is to see God's people transformed, delivered and living the abundant life that Jesus promises. His involvement with the prison ministry at the Suffolk County House of Corrections has offered him opportunities to minister to many inmates in the correctional facility. Pastor Wayne has a heart for people and welcomes the opportunity to preach God’s Word to all who have an ear to hear what saith the LORD.

Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons

¹ Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.

² Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, ³ not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

⁴ He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. ⁵ (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) ⁶ He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. ⁷He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.

⁸ In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. ⁹ They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. ¹⁰They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.

¹¹ In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.

¹² A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.

¹³ Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
