THE PRAYER DEPARTMENT

This group is called the Prayer Warriors or the Intercessors. This is due to the obligations fostered on them. Though every Christian has the obligation to pray, this group is specifically saddled with the obligation to pray for the church and “lift up the hands of Moses” – the Moses in this case being the Pastor-in-Charge at various levels of administration of the church. Praying constantly for the church. Voluntarily and personally waiting on God with self-denial e.g. fasting to seek God’s face. Standing in the gap for individual members of the church who are facing challenges.

USHERING DEPARTMENT

The ministry of the usher goes far beyond opening a door. The purpose of an usher is to represent Christ to all that come to worship at the Church. In a sense, they serve as the hosts of the building in which believers and strangers gather to seek God. This purpose alone expresses the privilege and responsibility that falls to a church usher.
