I found these qualifications on the net for Faith Bap:
Note: the reason for the 2 year previously - is that Faith, is a "military church" ie -most members are family members of a US serviceman.
This church is overseas - the normal tour of duty is 3 years, so families are constantly coming and going. - Some who get assigned may only have a year or so left on their tour.
What are the qualifications required to serve as a Deacon at Faith Baptist Church?
All potential Deacons must meet the biblical requirements for the office of Deacon in Acts 6:1-6 and 1 Timothy 3:8-13. Moreover, Deacons must be church members of a church of like doctrine and practice to Faith Baptist Church for at least two years, and members of Faith Baptist Church for at least six months prior to their ordination to the office of Deacon. Deacons are nominated by the congregation, examined by the Lead Pastor/Elders, and are subsequently affirmed by the congregation.Note: the reason for the 2 year previously - is that Faith, is a "military church" ie -most members are family members of a US serviceman.
