All Nominees must be PLC members in "good standing" who are:

1. a faithful Member of Purpose Life Church for at least One year
   Faithful in serving, giving, leading and growing
2. Dignified
   That means honorable, respectable, esteemed, or worthy.
3. Not double-tongued
   Those who are double-tongued say one thing to certain people but then say something else to others, or say one thing but mean another. They are two-faced and insincere. Their words cannot be trusted, so they lack credibility.
4. Not addicted to much wine
   A person is disqualified for the office of deacon if he/she is addicted to wine or other strong drink. Such a person lacks self-control and is undisciplined.
5. Not greedy for dishonest gain
   A person who is a lover of money, he is not qualified to be a deacon, especially since deacons often handle financial matters for the church.
6. Sound in faith and life
   
7. Blameless
   “Blameless” is a general term referring to a person’s overall character and where we not only examine a potential deacon’s moral, spiritual, and doctrinal maturity, but should also consider the person’s track record of service in the church.
8. Faithful towards spouse.
   In the case of a deacon who is married there must be no other woman in his life to whom he relates in an intimate way either emotionally or physically.
9. Able to manage children and household well:
   In the case where a potential deacon is married or has children he must be the spiritual leader of his wife and children.
