Yes, a deacon in a Baptist church can also serve as a trustee, depending on the specific bylaws and governance structure of the church. Many Baptist churches allow deacons to take on multiple roles within the church, as both positions are typically focused on service and leadership. However, it's essential for the church to ensure that any dual roles do not create conflicts of interest or hinder effective governance. Ultimately, the decision rests with the church leadership and congregation.

This is all laid out in my church's constitution.

How long can a trustee serve for?
The length of time a trustee can serve is typically specified in the trust document or by state laws. Many trusts have a provision that allows a trustee to serve for the duration of the trust, which can be for many years or even generations. If there is no specific term stated, a trustee may serve until they are no longer willing or able to fulfill their duties.
If you are a deacon at church if you relocate to another church are you still a deacon?
Yes, if you stay within the same diocese. A deacon is at the service of a Bishop and is ordained into Holy Orders by the Bishop of the diocese of which the ordained deacon is a member. The Bishop may assign a deacon to any church or other position where he believes the deacon is most needed. Oft times the deacon is allowed to serve in his local parish, but he still remains at the service to the Bishop and not necessarily to his personal local parish or parish priest. If a deacon wishes to "relocate" or moves out of the diocese in which he was ordained he must make a formal request to his Bishop and to the Bishop of the diocese into which he will be transferring. Both must approve this move. Of course, in most cases, this permission is extended as there is always room for the service of a deacon or any other person who wishes to serve his new local parish. However, a deacon is an ordained minister of the Church therefore, much like a priest, he has a mark upon his soul that can never be removed, though again like a priest, he may be laitized. However, once having been ordained into the Holy Church of God, that mark on the soul can never be cancelled. Once a priest always a priest--once a deacon always a deacon. However, the permission to "practice" ones Holy Orders may be taken away or voluntarily given up under certain circumstances.
