Serve at Christ Church
Acolytes & Vergers
Serving as an Acolyte is both an honor and service to God, enhancing the congregation's worship services. Acolytes at Christ Church begin their training and service any time after entering the sixth grade, but adults are also welcomed to join the Corps. Being involved in the Acolyte Corps gives participants an opportunity to participate in worship services, to connect with one another and to experience a stronger sense of service to God and the church. Vergers assist the priest and lead the acolytes for the assigned service. Enquire here
