In the Free Will Baptist Church, deacons are typically elected by the congregation during a business meeting or a special election. Nominations may come from church members, and candidates often undergo a vetting process to ensure they meet the biblical qualifications for deacons. The congregation then votes, usually by secret ballot, to select the individuals they believe are best suited for the role. The process emphasizes prayer and seeking God's guidance throughout.

Each church is different - they operate according to their own individual constitution and by-laws. Just about any church office should be able to provide a copy of their constitution. In my church, deacons serve for a term of three years and then have a one-year period afterward where they cannot serve except under some specific circumstances; if a deacon wishes "to get out", they can simply resign their position. This is all laid out in my church's constitution.
