Acolytes

The word acolyte is taken from an ancient Greek word meaning companion, attendant, or helper. Acolytes work closely with the pastors and take part in church services to help people worship God. Every Sunday, the acolytes light and extinguish the candles on the altar. Since ancient times, light and fire have reminded people that God is here with us. 

 

Boys and girls in 3rd through 5th grade are invited to participate in this important ministry. Acolyte training is held every year in September, but acolytes are accepted and trained throughout the year as needed.
