Mission Area:
Following Christ
The Acolytes aids worship by helping the pastor with various parts of the worship service. Anyone may become an acolyte. Because this ministry involves lighting candles on the altar, it is helpful that a young person is able to reach the candles with the candle lighter.
An acolyte serves in the service of their choice, either 8:30 or 11:00. The acolytes rotate and serve approximately one Sunday per month. The acolyte starts the worship service with the lighting of the altar candles. Other jobs throughout worship will include handing out and receiving the offering plates, helping with communion when needed, and extinguishing the candles at the end of the service.
