i can only tell you what the bible says about this.1 Timothy
Chapter 3 4 Similarly, deacons must be dignified, not deceitful, not addicted to drink, not greedy for sordid gain, holding fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. Moreover, they should be tested first; then, if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
Women, 5 similarly, should be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in everything.
Deacons may be married only once and must manage their children and their households well.
Thus those who serve well as deacons gain good standing and much confidence in their faith in Christ Jesus.
