Our Ministries

Altar/Sanctuary Guild Setting the altar for communion is a great way to begin your Sunday worship. Along with setting the altar, this ministry is responsible for the baptistery and preparing the sanctuary for Holy Union/Matrimony celebrations. The maintenance and creation of altar dressings and banners are also an important part of the guild.

Building Ministry Taking care of the building inside and out is the focus of this ministry. They do repairs and routine maintenance on the church building. This ministry provides ample opportunity for those skilled in building maintenance work or for those who would like to learn.

Clown Ministry
The MCC Clowns serve our church in a fun and creative way. In other words, they make us laugh. They often perform skits for worship services and often entertain at socials and fundraisers. This ministry is always looking for new people to "clown" around, but more importantly to minister to others.

Congregational Care Ministry
A card in the mail can lift a person's spirit. This ministry is responsible for sending welcome, birthday, get well, and thinking of you cards. People with organizational skills may find correspondence to be the place for them.

Grounds Ministry
This ministry is in charge of maintaining the grounds of the church property. They plant flowers, water, mow the lawn and oversee the upkeep of the ground's equipment. People who love to work outside will find a place for themselves in this ministry.

Helping Hand Ministry
This ministry provides a great deal of the community outreach of our church. They manage a monthly offering and a food pantry. The offering assists people in need with rent, utilities, medicine or other unexpected expenses. If you enjoy helping others this may be the ministry for you.

Hospitality Ministry
Hospitality serves refreshments in Palmer Hall after the Sunday morning worship services. This time of fellowship gives the church body an opportunity to connect socially with one another. They often oversee church dinners and pot lucks. If you have organizational or food preparation skills, this ministry may be the one for you.

Library and Pride Store
MCC Lubbock has a wonderful church library and pride store. This facility provides powerful outreach to people who want to borrow Christian and gay/lesbian literature and who want to purchase pride novelties and other gift items. People with an interest in running a small store and in meeting people will want to involve themselves in this ministry.

Music Ministry
Music is a vital component for the worship services of our church, and we have many opportunities for you to utilize your gift of music. We have a praise team, which leads the congregation in praise music. Our vocal choir, hand chime choir, and sign choir provide special music throughout the year. This ministry also provides opportunities to serve as a soloist, pianist, and overhead projector technician.

Prayer Partner Ministry
Our church body believes in the power of prayer. The Prayer Partners meet at 6:00 a.m. each Thursday to pray for the ministries, the pastors and the congregation of MCC Lubbock. They also mail out prayer grams when requested. This group welcomes all who want to join them in intercessory prayer.

Rainbow Seekers Ministry
The Rainbow Seekers ministry is our small group ministry. We have several groups, which meet in the homes of church members. These groups pray and study together in a spirit of fun and fellowship. In addition, they plan service projects for our church and local community. Cards located on the foyer table provide various locations and times of all the groups.

Stewardship Ministry
Our church believes that we are called to be good stewards of God’s blessings. This ministry serves to teach and encourage the church body about tithing and serving in church ministries. They welcome people with creative minds to help plan for
activities and campaigns dealing with stewardship.

Transportation Ministry
If you have some extra room in your vehicle on Sundays and enjoy meeting people this is the ministry for you. When someone needs a ride to worship or a church activity this ministry provides transportation.

VISION Ministry
A major vehicle for communication and outreach is the VISION, our church newsletter. This ministry really needs people willing to write articles, sell ads and graffiti greetings, and help with monthly mailings. If you have skills in the area of communication, you will find the VISION a great way to do ministry and reach out to others.

Worship Ministry
This ministry oversees the organization and running of the worship services. The Worship Team meets to do major planning for this ministry. One may serve in this ministry as a greeter, usher, communion holder, sound technician, scripture reader, and one who offers prayer.
