The Laity undertakes a valuable role in the life of the Church. With their shared vision and commitment, they participate in Christ’s ministry in and through the Church. They are actively involved in the Church as Parish Council members, Committee members, delegates to the Diocesan Convention and General Assembly, Scripture readers, intercessors, acolytes, altar guilds, ushers, teachers, preachers, eucharistic ministers, choir members, and musicians. Their gift of time, talents and treasures bring joy, energy, purpose and life to the Church. They also serve as voices of the Church in the wider community, striving for peace, liberty, and justice among all people.

“There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.”
– 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
