So 1 Timothy chapter 3 tells us the qualifications to be an overseer or a deacon. Lets start with the Overseer
Must be above reproach
The Husband of one wife
Sober-minded
Self-controlled
Respectable
Hospitable
Able to Teach
Not a drunkard
Not violent but gentle
Not quarrelsome
Not a lover of money
Must manage his own household well
Children must be submissive
Must not be a recent convert
Must be well thought of by outsiders
Ok now for the Deacons
Dignified
Not double-tongued
Not addicted to wine
Not greedy
Must hold the mystery of faith with a clear conscience
Must be tested first
Wives likewise must be dignified
Not slanderers
Sober-minded
Faithful in all things
One wife
