Opportunities to Serve

Christ Church has various lay ministries which provide opportunities for parishioners to use their time and talents to serve in the life of the church:

Acolytes

On Sunday mornings you may see a Crucifer and two torch bearers who help facilitate worship for congregants by carrying the cross and candles down the aisle and assisting the priest at the communion table. If you are ten years old or older and are interested in serving on this team, please contact Thom Hunter.

Altar Guild

This team takes care that the altar is prepared for the services on Sundays and throughout the week. Altar Guild welcomes volunteers…men or women.  Training at your convenience and scheduling that fits your personal life. Above all, a blessing not only to you but the clergy, the church and God. Please contact Melanie Gerber with any questions.

Altar Flowers

When indoor services resume, bouquets are crafted each week by volunteers for display on the altar. If you would like to be involved in this ministry, please contact Katherine Smith.

AV Team

Experience with a sound board is preferred but not necessary, as training will be provided. If you are interested in serving on this team, please contact Michael Nichols.

 

Children's Catechesis

Brandi Guel, our children’s catechist, is looking for volunteers to help with children’s catechesis. If you have any interest in being a part of this great ministry, you can send Brandi Guel an email, and even find a time to sit in one Sunday and see what it’s like.
