Worship Assistants

At Grace United Methodist Church, we believe worship is a shared experience—one that grows

richer when many hearts and hands come together. Whether you're drawn to quiet service or

technical support, there’s a place for you to help create meaningful worship moments.


Ways You Can Serve

    Ushering | Greet worshipers with a smile, help them find seats, distribute bulletins, and assist with

    the offering. Ushers help set a tone of hospitality and care.


    Serving Communion | Participate in the sacred tradition of Holy Communion by helping distribute  

    the elements during worship. Training is provided, and all are welcome to serve.


    Sound Board and Streaming | Help bring worship to life for in-person and online attendees by operating 

    the sound board or assisting with livestreaming.


Scheduling and Training

We offer flexible scheduling and provide simple training for each role. Whether you’re available

once a month or more often, your presence makes a difference!
