“A deacon must be full of the Holy Spirit (Acts 6:3): full of wisdom (Acts 6:3); full of faith (Acts 6:5); willing to assist
the pastor through participation in various church programs and by leading the church in the achievement of its
mission; practice stewardship by contributing his time, talents and means cheerfully, regularly, and liberally for the
achievement of the Redeemer’s cause on earth.
