Our Worship Team is led by the rector and includes all clergy, the music director, and the lay leaders of our various Altar Ministry teams. This team reviews our worship program, designs and evaluates our services, and plans for future worship services. We try to insure that worship is serving the needs of our members, is consistent with our traditions, is supportive of our Values andVision, is a joyful expression of our faith and keeps God as the center and focus of our lives.
