So what exactly is a Deacon? The word translated "deacon" literally means servant, which is exactly what deacons do. They serve the elders and the congregation by tending to the practical and logistical needs of the church. Put simply, a deacon is an individual who meets certain character requirements and is set apart by the church in order to handle specific physical needs or ministerial endeavors. (see Acts 6:1-7; 1 Tim.3:8-13).
