Usher Teams

Our ushers are volunteers who act as greeters and guides. Ushers are often the first representative of the Cathedral whom visitors encounter when entering, and are responsible for conveying the best first impression to those gathering for worship. But the duties and responsibilities of ushers are more varied than simply extending a warm welcome:

We greet and seat,
We assist with special needs,
We collect the offering,
We facilitate communion,
We offer assistance and maintian orderliness

It's an usher's duty to be ready to offer general assistance and knowledge of the worship service and its proceedings to any member of the congregation who requires it. Ushers should know the location of the bathrooms, fire exits, sanctuary and infant rooms. An usher should thoroughly familiarize herself with the order of the worship service to answer any brief questions that visitors may have, such as when parts of the service begin or end. Ushers may help to keep order during altar calls and Communion, showing members where to stand and where to walk in the aisles. In an emergency, church members may call upon an usher to help keep order and escort everyone out safely.
