The term deacon denotes the service or ministry of a helper or bondservant (one who has sold himself by choice for service). His ministry is non-preaching but should be apt to teach. Deacons are proven men in the faith who will serve as right-hand men to the Pastor in secular and business matters of the church: conducting worship services, assisting in carrying out the ordinances of the church, and shall be knowledgeable of the doctrine of the Church of God in Christ.
