Acolytes

The ministry of acolyte is a serving ministry of the church that comes from ancient times. From those days until now acolytes have been faithful and conscientious men, women, boys and girls, who love the Lord Jesus Christ and love serving Him at his sacred altar. Acolytes assist in worship by carrying a processional cross, lighting candles, holding the Gospel book, holding candles or "torches", assisting a priest to set up and clean up at the altar, handing the offering plates to ushers, and many other tasks as seen fit by the priest. It is an honor to be selected as one who serves, and, truly a ministry to God and God’s people.
