Worship Ministry

Worship Ministry includes many different groups – all of which help facilitate and lead Worship Services.
It involves teams to help set up and help attendees, music played to lead the congregational singing, special music to help Connect People to Christ, technology used during our worship services, and more.
We serve God by serving our congregation and guests through using the talents He has given us.

Do you love to sing? The Adult Choir is a warm and welcoming group of voices that come together to glorify God and enrich our worship services through music. Whether you have sung in choirs your whole life or it has been a while since you last raised your voice in song, we would love to have you join us!

 

We sing anthems that support the worship theme for the day, sharing the love of Jesus through music and helping Connect People to Christ. It is a meaningful and joyful way to serve our congregation.

 

We typically sing for the 8:00 and 9:30 AM services on the 1st and 2nd Sundays of each month.
The schedule may be slightly altered for Festival Sundays and special events such as Reformation and Holy Week.

 

Rehearsals take place on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM in the Choir Room — a great way to spend a Tuesday evening with fellow believers!

Practice Materials

Looking for a fun and unique way to serve through music? Our Bell Choir might be just what you are looking for! This joyful group makes a joyful noise to the Lord while having a wonderful time doing it — and they would love to have you ring alongside them!

 

The Bell Choir provides beautiful music during worship services and other special occasions throughout the year, adding a unique and uplifting dimension to our worship experience.

 

The commitment is straightforward — practice on Tuesdays from 5:30–6:30 PM and performances at the 8:00 & 9:30 AM services on the fourth Sunday of each month. No prior ringing experience is necessary — just a willing heart and a love for music!

 

If you are curious or would like to learn more about joining this fun and faithful group, please reach out to Thomas at — we would love to hear from you!

Thursday Informal Praise Team

Led by a wonderful group of various musicians and singers, this team leads our Thursday evening informal worship service. If you’d like to share your musical gifts but find Sundays difficult, this is a fantastic opportunity! The group gathers to practice at 5:15 PM right before the 6:30 PM service.


Celebration Praise Team

This energetic and passionate team leads worship on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Sunday mornings of the month for our Blended and Contemporary services. They gather on Saturday mornings from 8:30 – 10:30 AM in the Worship Center to prepare their hearts and voices for Sunday.


Good Hope Road Praise Team

This dedicated team leads worship on the 3rd and 5th Sundays of the month for our Blended and Contemporary services. Like the Celebration team, they also practice on Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 10:30 AM — a great way to start your weekend in worship!


This Side of Heaven Praise Team

Our youth praise team is made up of talented high school and middle school students who are passionate about leading their peers and congregation in worship. They practice the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month after 11:00 AM service and lead worship several times throughout the school year. It is a joy to watch the next generation use their gifts for God!


 

2026 SCHEDULE

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to make our worship services come to life? Our Audio/Visual team is essential to help our services run smoothly. From the microphones the pastors wear to the lyrics displayed on the screens to the livestream that reaches our members at home — it all happens because of dedicated volunteers just like you!

 

If you enjoy working with technology or have a heart for helping people worship without distraction, God might be calling you to serve on our Audio/Visual team. Training is provided for all positions — no experience necessary!

 

Here are some of the ways you can serve:

 

Operating the Soundboard/Mixer

You’ll help our Praise Teams and pastors sound their best by adjusting volumes, muting and unmuting channels, and managing audio for videos and other media. It’s a behind-the-scenes role with a big impact on the worship experience.


Advancing Slides/Projection

You’ll help our congregation stay engaged in worship by displaying song lyrics, Bible readings, and sermon text on the screens at just the right moment. It’s a simple but powerful way to help people connect with God during the service.


Livestream Camera Operator

You’ll help bring worship to those who can’t be with us in person by operating the camera during our Sunday 9:30 AM livestream and other special services. It’s a meaningful way to extend the reach of St. Paul’s ministry beyond our walls.


 

All positions include full training — we will teach you everything you need to know! If any of these roles speak to you, we would love to have you on the team.

Behind every worship service at St. Paul, there are faithful volunteers who make sure everything runs smoothly and that every guest feels welcomed. Two of those crucial teams are our Ushers and our Altar Guild — and we would love for you to be a part of one of them!

 

Ushers

Ushers are the friendly faces that greet worship attendees as they arrive, distribute the Weekly News, guide worshipers forward for Communion, and bring forth the Offering. If you enjoy welcoming people and helping services flow seamlessly, this is a wonderful way to serve!

Ushers serve on a rotating schedule, making this a flexible and low-commitment way to give back.


Altar Guild

The Altar Guild serves quietly behind the scenes, preparing the worship space before each service. This includes changing the paraments (the decorations and cloths on the altar and pulpit) to reflect the seasons of the church year and preparing the bread and wine for Holy Communion (The Lord’s Supper). It is a meaningful and meditative way to serve God and prepare His house for worship.

Altar Guild members serve on a rotating basis, so the time commitment is very manageable.


 

Could you see yourself serving as an Usher or on the Altar Guild? We would love to have you! Both teams are a wonderful way to deepen your connection to worship and to your church family.
