Why and how do you appoint deacons?

About this episode

Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie

In this episode, we dig beneath the traditions and assumptions surrounding deacon selection and go back to the New Testament pattern. 

Why were deacons appointed in the first place? 

Who actually chose them? And how does Acts 6 reshape common practices like “rewarding faithfulness,” filling vacancies, or appointing men to keep families from leaving the congregation? 

You’ll discover a simple, biblical framework: identify the real need, teach the qualifications, let the congregation select, and let the leaders appoint. 

If your congregation is confused and frustrated with how deacons are chosen—or not chosen—this episode offers clarity, challenge, and a roadmap back to the model that worked in the first century.
