Join Us by Serving on Sundays!

We have volunteer opportunities for all ages to help on Sunday. Whether you enjoy greeting visitors, running livestream equipment, working in the kitchen, arranging altar flowers, or reading during the service, there's a place for you.
Acolytes
Acolytes, starting at age eight, can serve at the altar. Training is provided by fellow acolytes and the acolyte leader. Acolytes are scheduled quarterly and may participate in special services such as Christmas and Easter.

Altar Guild
The Altar Guild is a dedicated group caring for the altar, vestments, and altar linens. They prepare the sanctuary for services, including the Eucharist, and special occasions like Christmas, Easter, funerals, and weddings.
