What can deacons do?
For most Baptist churches, there are two offices: Pastors and deacons. Pastors often are selected from outside the congregation, whereas deacons are usually selected from within the congregation. Baptist congregations rely heavily on the biblical qualifications for deacons (1 Timothy 3) and on the selection of the Seven (Acts 6) as fundamental guides for understanding the role of the deacon. Deacons usually administer the resources of the congregation, while pastors focus on the spiritual needs. Often deacons are elected by their congregation and may serve for life (or until resignation). While the particular responsibilities may vary from congregation to congregation with some guidance from the convention, deacons often advise the pastor, help lead the congregation, visit the sick, and organize relief and support for the poor and vulnerable.
