Any Deacon in the Catholic Church can be married when he becomes a Deacon. But if he is not married when he becomes a Deacon he cannot get married.

Q: In a corporate baptist church can deacon also serve as a trustee?
A minister can be divorced and be remarried but it will be examined in his interviews. Baptist churches are autonomous and can make their own decisions about how their church is run. Many Baptist churches will not let a person who is married a second time be a deacon of the church. A deacon is a lay person.
Baptist churches are democracies. The church elects the deacons after recommendations by the congregation or pastor. The pastor is NOT in control of the church the members are except in Baptist churches that are called "independent" and are not affiliated with a large convection like the General Baptist or Southern Baptist. This is done so the pastor can not take too much control of the church. But the church members can vote to remove a deacon. These types of things are done at business meetings in the church.

Ultimately, the decision rests with the church leadership and congregation.

He can be part of the leadership of the church and is usually always a help to the pastor. A deacon will therefore help with preaching, teaching, assisting elders and special needs people, as well as supervising church functions, and can also usually be found in pastor's meetings to help the pastor make decisions.
