About Us 
Acolyte – companion; attendant; or a server; from the Greek word akolouthos
Acolytes have served in Christian worship since 250 A.D. and the acolyte tradition has its roots in the Old Testament when the prophet Samuel assisted Eli, the Levite priest. It is an old and venerable tradition.

Acolytes assist the priest and help lead the congregation during worship on Sunday. Training for all acolytes occurs in August or September every year. If you missed training, but would still like to be an acolyte we can make that happen! Just call the church office.
