Churches serve a significant place in the plan of God. Small bands of Christians join together to both worship and carry out the work God has given them as lampstands holding up the light of Christ in their community. God has entrusted elders with the duty of shepherding and deacons to serve these churches. Deacons serve a vital role in a church’s work running smoothly as they typically work behind the scenes to ensure this. This study will examine the qualities God requires for men to serve in this role as well as the work that they do.
