"Deacon" in the Bible: 1 Timothy 3:8-10
Paul sets high standards for those who serve in leadership roles in the church. Here, he lays out the moral requirements for the position of deacon in the church. Deacons must be righteous and blameless in their everyday lives.

reason i ask is because my cousin was to be ordained as a deacon but our church said he has to be married first. is this true?
@oliviaallen each church has it’s own standards for leadership. I’m a bit surprised to hear that a church would require marriage before someone becomes a deacon, but my guess is that the leadership of the church might be able to shed some more light onto why they require it.
My church says a deacon is to be in charge of flock care and service only and not a part of the decision making process, they use the verse in Acts where the term “Waiting Tables”is used.I have a concordance that says the Greek words used means “working at a bankers table”. Which is correct?
