1 Timothy 3:8-13 ( NKJV )
8Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money,
9holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
10But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.
11Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
A deacon’s life draws respect, admiration and love the brethren because of his mature, sober character, and his desire of giving himself as a servant. He is held in an honorable esteem by his church family.
A deacon desires no praise or reward for his services, or to be recognized by men for what he does. His motives are pure, his heart is in his serving, not in what he might benefit. He works in humility and thankfulness, with an attitude that draws no attention to himself, through his speech or his actions.
Deacon Board Chairman: Deacon Willie Dunigan
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him ... Christ in us and among us. The deacon has a daily, living experience of a tangible reality with the Christ that indwells his body, and His manifested Presence with him wherever he goes. He is possessed by the faith of the Son of God, and is controlled by the revealed Word of the Lord for his life. He fellowships with the Holy Spirit, maintaining a pure, clean conscience in his walk with God.
Deacon Anthony Christopher
A prospective deacon must first be called, then proved by the Holy Spirit as a true servant. The duration of the season of proving is determined by the faithfulness and obedience of the candidate. He will also be approved by his church family. His lifestyle will not contradict his calling, thereby disqualifying himself as a prospect.

Luke 22:27
27For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.
Isaiah 42:1
1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
Matthew 20:26-28
26Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
27And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—
28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
26Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
27And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—
28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
