The words deacon and minister both mean the same thing: servant. Deacon comes from the Greek word diákonos (διάκονος) which means "servant". Minister comes from the Latin word minister which means "servant, attendant" So Philip was both a minister and a deacon. But of course his main position in the Bible was apostle. Regards Philip
