I am a Deacon

I Am a Deacon — Preparing Young Boys to Serve God

I Am a Deacon is a beautifully illustrated Orthodox Christian children’s book created to help young boys understand and prepare for the special responsibility of serving as a deacon in the Church.

Through simple, age-appropriate explanations and engaging illustrations, children discover that being a deacon is much more than wearing a tonia or standing in the altar—it is a calling to serve God with reverence, attention, humility, and love.

Young readers will learn about the deacon’s role during the Divine Liturgy, church items and traditions, appropriate behavior while serving, and the importance of prayer and spiritual preparation.

Perfect for boys preparing to become deacons, newly ordained young deacons, Sunday School students, and Orthodox Christian families who want to help their children understand the beauty and responsibility of serving at the altar.

A wonderful preparation book for a boy beginning his journey of service in the Orthodox Church.
