Acolytes help lead the congregation in worship through reverent, visible service at the altar.
Christ Church welcomes acolytes for the 8:00am and 10:30am services and accepts children age 10 and older as well as adults. Acolytes may carry the cross, torches, Gospel book, or assist in other ways during the liturgy.
Learning by serving
Acolyte ministry teaches attentiveness, confidence, teamwork, and the rhythm of Episcopal worship. For young people, it is one of the clearest ways to move from watching worship to helping lead it.
Get involved
Training is provided. Those interested can contact the church office to learn about scheduling, expectations, and upcoming opportunities to serve.
