Bible Question: What is the role of the Deacon in the church? From 1 Timothy 3 description, it appears that a Deacon's responsibilities stretch beyond 'cutting grass'. If there has been a situation when the finances of the church are being misappropriated, and things are not being handled biblically or legally do the deacons have an obligation to the members of the church to make sure that all financial matters are cleared up and handled correctly? |
Bible Answer: The first Deacons of the church is found in Acts 6:5 including Stephen and Philip. Deacon's have a ministry to preach the message of Jesus Christ. Acts chapters 6,7,8 are good biblical examples of the office of a Deacon. |
