First Christian Church Deacons
"Deacons, likewise, are to
be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and
not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep
truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first
be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve
as deacons. In the same way, their wives are to be women
worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and
trustworthy in everything. A deacon must be the husband of but
one wife and must manage his children and his household well.
Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great
assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus."
~1 Timothy 3:8-13 NIV
