Trained lay members of the congregation assist our ministers as liturgists at nearly every service, and offer the entire service when our ministers aren’t present. Those desiring to become Worship Associates submit applications (click here to download application) every spring to serve for the year beginning in September, with the option of renewing for a second year. Worship Associates have ranged in age from 18 to over 70.

Our Worship Associates program, started in 1999, has enriched the worship life of our community immeasurably. Believing that they do not have an exclusive claim to truth or expertise, our ministers encourage lay members to share of their wisdom and life experience from the pulpit. Worship Associate services are very popular in our congregation, and are well attended.
