    1 Timothy 3

    8 Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.

    The duties they perform may depend on the denomination but usually it is helping the pastor/minister visit the sick, serve Communion, pray for the people and help in any way needed.

    Regardless of denomination? All you can say is, the deacon helps the priest, usually with less crucial, more mundane duties. Any church that employs "deacons" must make up their own duties for them. In the Bible, all it says is that deacons were invented because waiting on tables cut into the apostles' and bishops' preaching time.
