A Deacon is a person who serves in servant-leader ministry within the church. Many churches have deacons, as well as other similar positions, such as an Elder. When a deacon is chosen to serve, completed all training which can last a year or longer, the church holds an ordination ceremony service for all deacons who have completed and passed the training. Ordination services includes the charge to the deacons being ordained in which a member of the church, who is usually a leader in the deacon ministry, offers a brief speech about the responsibilities and duties of deaconship.
