CHURCH USHERS NAME TAGS MANUAL

Most of the ministry of an usher is pure joy.

Absorb the pressure of the moment, don’t transfer it.

Pay attention, take initiative, and make it happen!! Never assume “someone” else is taking care of the need. If you aren’t sure what to do, ask your section leader.

At all times watch what is going on in your section and jump in to handle it. The cardinal sin of an usher is to not pay attention. Take a few moments at home to connect with God and ask Him to use you as a representative of His love and an agent of His redemptive plan. God is far more interested in the commitment of your heart than the amount of your time. Don’t feel like this requires an hour of Bible study before you show up. This is not to be seen as a duty, but a privilege to connect with God as part of your preparation. You are supportive of the leadership at “your church name.”Ī good usher comes prepared mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.You are committed to the vision of “your church name.”.You understand the vital role of the usher ministry.This is not about perfection, but a heartfelt motive and desire to live a life of a spirit-filled believer. The fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23 is a solid guideline for a good usher. Please make sure you work in coordination with your section leader or a service leader rather than practicing “random recruiting.” The right gifts, passion, and ability make a big difference.Īs you recruit new ushers keep spiritual qualities, characteristics and usher responsibilities in mind. In the same way that not just anyone can sing in the choir, work in children’s ministry or lead a small group. Mark 1:21-22Īt dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The people were amazed at his teaching because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Though we thoroughly enjoy the creative edge of our worship services, make no mistake, this is a holy event where God is meeting with His people.įrom the tabernacle in the Old Testament to the temple and synagogue in the New Testament, God’s presence and the teaching of His word is of supreme importance. The usher serves as a “first representative” of Jesus Christ for a worship service.

I’m pulling a portion of the training notes for our usher team and adapting for this article. The ushers are a huge force in setting the tone for worship and helping to prepare the people to hear and respond to the Word of God.

Their role is so important, but often undervalued, undertrained, and less than organized. One of my favorite ministries to lead is the usher team. I love how well Dan Reiland outlines the importance and “how to’s” of the usher ministry in the article below. We each have our unique God given gifts, and that includes people who are wired to be good ushers. Just as not everyone can be a worship leader, work in child care, repair the building, or preach the sermon. An area of serving that is often overlooked in churches is that of Usher. It is true in your personal life, and it is true in your church. I’m sure you have all heard the saying that you only get one chance to make a first impression. Ushers and greeters are your church’s first impression.
