This week on Beyond the Pulpit we revisit why we paused deacons, build a clear biblical case for the office, and explain how character-qualified servants protect preaching, solve real problems, and strengthen unity. We outline our pathway, address women as deacons, and preview the first roles we’re commissioning.
• two biblical offices, distinct roles
• history of pausing deacons for clarity
• definition of deacons as servant leaders
• qualifications from 1 Timothy 3
• Acts 6 as a prototype for word and service
• case for women serving as deacons
• why deacons prevent distraction from preaching
• character testing and church affirmation
• five-step pathway to commissioning
• first assignments in men’s and women’s Bible studies
• partnership between elders and deacons
• upcoming midweek ministries and start dates
