Like deacons, deaconesses are selected for unlimited terms of office by the congregation.  Deaconesses assist the deacons and the pastor in promoting the spiritual welfare of the congregation.  Their duties include, but is not limited to, preparation of the elements (bread and wine) for the Lord's Supper, preparing female candidates for baptism, and visiting the sick and shut-in.
