A Deacon Council of a Basileia jurisdiction administers the diaconal functions of member formation in general and of the Catechumenate and of the Novitiate in particular. Deacon Councils complement the roles of Presbyter Councils and Missional Councils in providing leadership to one of the three major areas of the life of Basileia, namely, the area of membership formation. Until ordained Deacons are raised up to lead Deacon Councils, Presbyters are authorized to do so, but then after Deacons are appointed, these Presbyters join with other baptized members in diaconal service to these Deacon Councils. Basileia has the following six types of Deacon Councils:
- Alliance Deacon Council.
- Community Deacon Councils.
- Fellowship Deacon Councils.
- Abbey Deacon Councils.
- Society Deacon Councils.
- Chapter Deacon Councils.
