The first deacons, appointed in the early Christian church to assist the apostles with service and administration, are primarily noted in the Book of Acts. Stephen, one of the first seven deacons, became the first Christian martyr after being stoned to death for his bold preaching. Another deacon, Philip, spread the Gospel in Samaria and baptized the Ethiopian eunuch, highlighting the deacons' role in early evangelism. The actions of these deacons helped to establish the foundation for church leadership and service.
