The Deacons at Broadmoor care for the church’s physical needs, guide others to unity in the church body, and encourage others to develop hearts of service. As noted in Acts 6:1-7, the deacon body serves a very important role in the life of a church.
Using 1 Timothy 3:8-13 as a guide for the qualification of a deacon, we notice the focus on what a deacon must be more than what they are able to do. A deacon must be worthy of respect or dignified, be able to hold the mystery of the faith, be tested and blameless, be the husband of one wife, be a good manager of his children and household, and must be faithful to the calling of being a deacon. They must also not be double-tongued, indulging in much wine, or greedy for dishonest gain.
