Deacons are the faithful servants of God who lead in specific ministries. In the Bible, the word "deacon" literally means "servant." Although all Christians strive to serve others in the same manner as Jesus served us (Mark 10:45; Philippians 2:5-7), the deacon's role is to provide faithful service so as to free up the pastors to preach, teach, and pray (Acts 6:2–4.)

Deaconry qualifications are nearly identical to pastoral qualifications, except that a deacon is not required to be "able to teach" (I Timothy 3:2) or "to correct those who contradict it" (Titus 1:9). A pastor's role is to teach and protect, while a deacon's role is to serve and manage. The apostle Paul defines the qualifications for deacons in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.
