The Ministry of Church Ushering is a sacred and powerful responsibility.

Ushers are servants for the Lord and His people.

The Ushers make sure that all members and guests are greeted warmly, finding them a comfortable seat, and doing whatever it takes to put them in the right frame of mind for worship. They
greet our guests and members with a smile and love in their hearts.

Ushers always keep a silent prayer and a joyful song in their hearts and a smile on their face. They serve with tact and with courtesy.

The Ushers always guard the house of God during the worship service.

This ministry is not for everyone. You must be able to stand, to wear the proper uniform, be humble and flexible.

There is a school that one can attend, so that all Ushers can usher in the same way. They keep on smiling, no matter what.
