Here is what the Scripture says about a deacon: qualifications for a deacon's character are clearly outlined as the person must be blameless, the husband of one wife, a good household manager, respectable, honest, not addicted to alcohol and not greedy. According to the Word, the office of deacon is an honor and a blessing. "For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus" (see 1 Timothy 3: 8-13).

Considering the above, if the 'deacon' is not matching said qualifications, this is grounds for their removal. Basically, its like any job/position in life but Church positions gain better standings in Christ.

The responsibilities of a Deacon Board is to help the Pastor with his/her needs. They will usually need to do prayer in the services at church, and help with Communion. The Deacon Board has a lot of responsibility and the Pastor is usually very grateful that he has people to help him.

The word deacon means servant, the original deacons, of the early church, helping with the needs of widows. See Acts 6:1-7.

A Deacon's wife role in the church is light in comparison to her husband's role. The women do participate in Communion and Baptism. It is the women who set up the trays with the grape juice and crackers. Maintain the robe during baptism etc. A deacon's wife is supposed to encourage their husbands by keeping them lifted in prayer, and help them with their duties. As women, we have to be spiritually equipped to minister and pray for others. There are some things that a deacon may have the wife do, such as minister to other women. Basically, be one who encourages others to grow in the Word of God. Sometimes God may call on you to enter a spiritual mother role with a young lady, or you may need to physically step in and give a helping hand. But mainly, be in constant prayer of your husband because you are his "help mate". Stay in constant fellowship with other wives and learn from each other. Be a mentor to someone so that they can become spiritually mature and teach others. (Titus 2:3-5)

We have what is called a Deacon in training. These men are set aside for one year and observed by the pastor, the deacon body and the church body. During this time the person is instructed in the responsibilities and duties of a deacon. After one year a decision is made to weather the person is qualified to be a deacon, if yes then they are ordained. During the ordination a body of pastors and deacons question the person and make the decision.

The definition of "celibate" is "not married."

You probably are asking if a married deacon needs to be chaste; that is, not having sexual relations.

To deacon produce is to bury the soft, spotted, or otherwise unappealing produce in the bottom of the basket, and the pretty stuff on top.

To deacon a calf is to whop a newborn dairy male on the head, killing it, because to price of veal is too low to make raising it profitable, and the calf's genetics make it an unlikely candidate for a champion bull.

Not exactly a paragon of virtue is the typical deacon. Most of them, however, do not engage in sex with a married woman if her husband is watching with a shotgun in his arms.

Some presbyterian churches have deacons.

Deacons were the primary assistants to the bishop. The diocese was divided into (at first) seven diakoniae or deaconries. Each was headed by a senior deacon, with the assistance of a junior deacon (or subdeacon). These were responsible for the adminsitration of the Church's resources in that district, especially but not exclusively for the care of the poor and vulnerable.

These were eventually expanded to 14 districts, and then expanded again. The ecclesial structure of a deanery (also called a vicariate or a prefecture) derives from these early diakoniae.

Because of their experenice with the administration of the diocesan church, especially compared to presbyters who only advised the bishop and lead small house churches/tituli (early parishes), it was more likely that the bishop would be elected from among the deacons than among the presbyterate in the first millennium.

In Catholic religion the rule or job of a deacon is seems like a servant to assist the priest carefully, in order to pleased by the priests in order for him to be promoted to the next level to be a priest.

In the Catholic Church, once a man has received ordination of the diaconate, he cannot marry. However, if a man is already married, he can then become a deacon (this is known as being part of the permanent diaconate, as opposed to the transitional diaconate, which is for men who intend to become priests). Should a permanent deacon's wife pass away, he is not free to marry again.

To serve the members of the local congregation in any way he can. Visiting the sick, caring for the elderly, widows, orphans, working within the church, planning the budget, and taking car of all church business.

Deacon vestments had their own family, they had children's and a wife. But the priest family c0mp0sed of us...
