Serving On Sundays

Praising God makes a difference! So does hearing the Word, and connecting with others! Our minds need it, our hearts need it, and our world needs it. 

And It Takes Teams to Make It Work 

Every Sunday morning it takes a significant number of teams to support many different areas of ministry. If you would like to explore any of these ministry teams further, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page.

Altar Guild

This team prepares the church for worship services. Work is done Saturday mornings from 9:00 – 10 am as well as on Saturday nights and Sunday for a short time after services.

Greeters and Ushers

Greeter teams welcome people near the building entrances before the services, while ushers distribute bulletins, take offerings, and help with other logistical duties during services.

Welcome Table

This team welcomes guests, and provides directions, and answers questions about the building, membership and ministries.

Crucifers or Acolytes
