Deacon being a Trustee? by: Lewis in NC
One suggestion toward the answer to this would be to check the church bylaws, constitution, denominational. . . "Book of Discipline" for example for Methodist. So the answer would depend on basic organizational foundations and structure, so the correct answer depends on other questions and answers for specifically your church.
