Ministries
Ministries are an essential part of our community and play a vital role in enriching the lives of both our members and those outside our Church walls. We believe that everyone has a calling to serve, and through these ministries, we can discover our unique gifts and use them to benefit the people of God. By serving in a ministry, each individual becomes a valuable contributor to our community and to the Church as a whole.
Altar Servers
An altar server is a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a Christian liturgy. An altar server attends to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching and carrying, ringing the altar bell, helping bring up the gifts, brings up the book, among other things. If young, the server is commonly called an altar boy or altar girl.
