Our Acolyte Program gives young people the opportunity to serve during worship by helping bring the light of Christ into the church. Acolytes assist with lighting and extinguishing the altar candles and help lead the congregation into a time of worship and reverence.
Students in 3rd through 12th grade are invited to serve as acolytes during our 8:15 AM and 10:30 AM Sunday services. Serving as an acolyte is a meaningful way for youth to participate in worship, grow in their faith, and take an active role in the life of the church.
We are always happy to welcome new students who would like to participate. If your child is interested, they can take part in a brief training before being added to the acolyte schedule.
