Ushers Ministry Mission Statement
The Ushers Ministry helps to create a comfortable and warm environment, so all congregants can have a pleasant, spiritual and meaningful worship experience.

Synopsis
This Ministry is committed to serving all congregants – members and visitors. Our goal is to reflect the Spirit of Christ as we serve in this part of God’s vineyard. To that end, we strive to be attentive to our congregants’ physical needs and to do so in a way that reflects God’s love. Being friendly, extending a kind word or offering a smile is important to us.

We formally meet twice a year to emphasize specific procedures, discuss issues that may have occurred, (including various topics on the members’ minds), and plan for special services.
