“…that we may show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to thy service…”
–From the General Thanksgiving, The Book of Common Prayer

As members of the Body of Christ, we are called to offer up our gifts in service of God and our neighbors. Church of the Resurrection provides a variety of ministries to meet the needs of the parish and the community.

Please let us know if you would be interested in serving in one of these ministries. You can email the appropriate ministry by clicking on its title.

Christian Formation
One of the paramount responsibilities of the Church is to develop within each member, from childhood to old age, a deep-rooted grounding in the teachings of Jesus Christ. We strive to fulfill this calling by means of:

• The Catechist Ministry - Through this ministry, we educate the children of our Parish in the essentials of the Faith.
• Youth Ministry - The Youth Group meets every Sunday at 6:15 PM in the Parish Hall. Meetings include community builders, discussion, activities and refreshments. We seek to provide an environment that offers support to youth in a lost world as well as a place in which they can support each other. All high school-aged teens are welcome.
• Adult Education - We meet in the Parish Hall at 8:40 AM each Sunday to share an in-depth study and discussion on subjects ranging from the birth and growth of the Church to the disciplines of the Christian life and anything in between.

 
Worship
We show our adoration and reverence for God in word, in song, and in many other ways.

• Liturgy Design Committee - Works on preparing the Chapel for special liturgies and enhancing all of our liturgical celebrations.
• Lector - During services, lectors present the scriptures which have been appointed for that week. (Must attend training workshops before undertaking this Ministry.)
• Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion - Must receive approval of the Rector and attend training workshops before undertaking this Ministry.
• Altar Server - Assists the Priest by serving at Mass. Training is open to boys and girls of the Parish, grade 2 and up.
• Usher - Assists in welcoming and seating people at Mass and taking up the collection. Open to men and women of the Parish.
• Music Ministry - Provides music for Sunday and Holy day liturgies.
• Altar Guild - Attends to the needs of preparation for the Mass.

 
Social Ministry
Our Lord Jesus tells us that any time we serve those in need, we do so to Him. It is our responsibility to offer ourselves to those on the margins of society.

• Local Outreach - Attends to the needs of the poor on the local level. They lead the bread ministry and distribute it to the needy, make up Holiday Baskets and at times, help people unable to meet utility bills. They are answering Christ’s call to serve “the least of these,” making them true friends of the poor.
• Small Groups - Small groups are central to our ministry strategy. All members are invited to participate in small groups, hosted in homes. These provide, fellowship, support and Christian growth for people of all ages. Members are also welcome to invite visitors to share in the experience of fellowship and study.
