Bible Answer: Scripture ... 1 Timothy 3:8-13 ... Mae64, greetings. Since your pastor is going to chnage the bylaws, I presume it is a pastor ruled church, else the elders or the congregation will decide. Calling someone a trustee to get around the qualifcations of a deacon is a coverup. So if they are deacons, correct the name. I've been in a church with both. If the men are divorced, some would say they cannot be a deacon ... others say if she is dead, it is okay ... that is usually in the by laws. But, that is only one qualification.
