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.
