A Deacon's wife role in the church is light in comparison to her husband's role. The women do participate in Communion and Baptism. It is the women who set up the trays with the Grape Juice and crackers. Maintain the robe during baptism etc. A deacon's wife is supposed to encourage their husbands by keeping them lifted in prayer, and help them with their duties. As women, we have to be spiritually equipped to minister and pray for others. There are some things that a deacon may have the wife do, such as minister to other women. Basically, be one who encourages others to grow in the Word of God. Sometimes God may call on you to enter a spiritual mother role with a young lady, or you may need to physically step in and give a helping hand. But mainly, be in constant prayer of your husband because you are his "help mate". Stay in constant fellowship with other wives and learn from each other. Be a mentor to someone so that they can become spiritually mature and teach others. (Titus 2:3-5)

The wife of a Deacon is varied because the name Deacon has differant meanings in differant Religions. In the Catholic Religion a Deacons wife can work go out gambling at night basically do her own thing. In some Protestant Religions the Deacons wife is also the Pastor's wife and she is expected to have afternoon teas with various factions of the church eg; the food bank.the church cleaners, or fund raising commities of which she can be or usually is the chairperson .However, all Deacon's wives are expected to lead morally correct lives and be suportive of the husbands work.

In Protestant sects Deacons ( male) are usually concerned with the business-management end of the church, not theological matters and counseling. they would supervise the taking of collections, fund raising and so on. They are not ordained ministers and are in effect ushers-in-chief or something akin. a Deaconess is, of course the female equivalent rank. They might be more active in say, child-care or charitable activities such as Food pantries, clothing depots, etc.

There are differences in other Baptist churches. In the Baptist church I attend deacons attend to the spiritual needs of the body along with the pastor. it is also the deacons job to prepare the communion table and serve. Deacons also help in the daily happenings in the church if and when they occur. Deacons also make visits to widows, the ill, and to the home bound. These are some of the duties.

Do you allow a man to be ordained or preach in your organization with 3 living wives for United or Southern Baptist churches?

Speaking for Southern Baptist churches... The Southern Baptist Convention has instituted in The Baptist Faith & Message that all leaders of the church (pastors, deacons, etc.) shall be the husband of one wife as quoted in 1 Timothy 3. That is one of the many differences between Baptists & Mormons/Church of Latter Day Saints. == 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach... 12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.


What are the duties of a deaconess?

There are only deacons mentioned in the Bible. The word "deaconess" is not in the Bible. Also, a "deacon" is a man. However, to answer the question, "deaconess' is a word which has largely gone out of style, but used to be the equivalent of a female chaplain in schools and some church groups. The duties vary greatly, according to the church (or school) using the term, but generally involve relationship counselling and spiritual guidance for others.
