FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ACOLYTE PROGRAM
Beginning at age 5, children of First Presbyterian Church may assist in Worship by being an Acolyte. Acolytes carry the light that represents Christ's presence into our sanctuary during our service of worship.
The Acolyte Program at First Presbyterian Church includes children between the ages of 5 and 15. They are an integral part of our Worship Service. An Acolyte starts his or her training when they are entering Kindergarten. They go through a two-year program in which they become full fledged Acolytes. During this time they are trained to light candles, present the Bible, and carry the Crucifer Cross to begin Worship Service.
At the beginning of their training, they are presented with an Acolyte Book which explains what they will be learning. At the end of their training they receive a certificate of accomplishment, a cross and an Acolyte Pin. They are then scheduled to serve during Worship Service. The Acolytes train on Wednesday nights from 6:45 – 7:30 pm.
We are thankful for these young people who serve their church faithfully, and with reverence and dedication.
For more information, please call the church office and our Acolyte Coordinator will get in touch with you. We welcome you to participate in our program.
