A group separated to physically minister to the congregation so the leadership could spend proper time in the word and prayer to minister spiritually. Where is this???

The Levites were chosen to be the priests for Israel, they were excluded from receiving a specific territory inheritance (Deuteronomy 10:8, 9; 18:1) and from census figures (Numbers 1:49). Instead, they were to spread out among all the tribes as teachers and priests.

Acts 6:1-6. These were the deacons, and two of them, Stephen and Philip, were pretty good preachers too.

See Matthew 14:22-34, the group was His disciples on the boat. 22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.
34When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him 36and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed
