Ministries of Worship + Spiritual Life

These ministry teams use their gifts to provide a transcendent experience of God’s presence, both virtually and in-person, and to support all our efforts to receive the Holy Spirit and facilitate its movement among us.

Do you find joy in music or in creating beauty, or feel a particular affinity for sharing in the sacramental life of the Church? Or, do you have a gift for tech and feel at home in the virtual world? Ministry Teams are always ready to welcome new members and support them in using their gifts in service to the world. To join or learn more about any of our ministries in our Worship + Spiritual Life cohort, contact cohort lead Harry Solis.

Deacons

Tends to the sacramental life of the church by assisting with communion, baptism, and other services, and prays for those in need. Oversees the overall safety of the building on Sundays for service and works with other Ministry Teams on sanctuary set-up and functionality.

Flowers

Uses creativity with God’s gifts of nature to honor and remember our loved ones and to enhance our visual worship experience. The only requirement of arrangers is to find joy in what they are doing! No experience is necessary. Welcomes new “flower friends” any time; the more, the better, and more fun for all who contribute.

Liturgical Arts

Creates and installs in the sanctuary artistic representations for each of the liturgical seasons to visually enhance our worship space and deepen our worship experience.

Memorial Garden

Provides an attractive and permanent place for burial of the cremated remains of members and friends of the church, as well as a quiet and reverent location for members and friends buried elsewhere to be memorialized.

Music

Provides people of all ages and abilities with quality music programs that echo our faith and glorify God. Supports the Minister of Music in the development of a music ministry that addresses all facets of UCC’s musical life including choirs, education, sustainability, and community outreach. With a diversity of offerings throughout the year, the hope is that listeners and participants alike will experience the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

Sound Room

Manages the sound system and video projector during worship services. Provides superior sound distribution and audio recording of Sunday services, makes copies of the recordings for the congregation, and distributes hearing-assisted listening devices.
