Deacon Congregation Review
The role of an Deacon at The Parish Church is to lead God’s people by demonstrating the rule and reign of God, primarily by serving the body. They lead as servants, guiding people to obey and to treasure King Jesus. Living out the Word of God is the primary work to meet the social and physical needs of fallen man. Going back to Acts 6, the tasks of deacons can’t be narrowed as far as the elders. What can be said in sum is that the role of deacons is to do whatever service is required to demonstrate the kingdom, while freeing the elders to do the work of shepherding and ruling. Finally, they lead others to demonstrate God’s kingdom to others.
The qualifications for an Deacon can be found in 1 Timothy 3:8-12.

Biblical Qualifications
for Deacons
1 TIMOTHY 3:8-12
[8] Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. [9] They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. [10] And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. [11] Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. [12] Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. [13] For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. (ESV)
