How should a church choose a deacon?

Answered in 1 source

A church should choose deacons based on biblical qualifications and through communal discernment among the congregation.

Choosing a deacon involves recognizing men within the church who meet specific biblical qualifications, such as honest reputation, being full of the Holy Spirit, and having wisdom. The selection process is communal, as the church body participates in identifying suitable candidates. In Acts 6, the apostles instructed the congregation to select men from among them, ensuring that those chosen are respected members of the community who exhibit the qualities necessary for service. This communal approach fosters unity and accountability within the church.
