HELPS MINISTRY

Stewards ensure everything remains safe and equipped for the morning service. They have a working understanding of the needs of the morning and ensure that the main service is able to operate smoothly.

They help coordinate people to the altar area in ministry times, take up the offering, give out communion, help find seats and are available to serve where necessary.

It is essential that in any gathering, there is appropriate resources for First Aid in case of injury or emergency.

Our First Aid stewards are trained and are on hand to assist in any situation. Training is available
