For a day in your counts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tent of wickedness. (Psalm 84:10)

The Ushers of Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church is an ordained ministry that is ordained by God. We are officials of the church that introduce strangers and walk before persons of rank. Forerunners, doorkeepers in the house of God. This helps us to become good Stewards for Christian stewardship.

The ministry of ushering is a vital part of the church ministry. Ushering is a ministry that has been mandated by God, we are servants of God. We reach out to all who desire to worship God and those who desire to worship at Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church.

We represent the church in a very visible way by helping set the tone in preparation for the worship service and assisting with the smooth operation within the worship service.

Our function is to meet, greet and seat parishioners and visitors of Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church and assist the Pastor with the success of the service by putting the congregation in the right frame of mind to receive the message. We serve the church by providing a friendly, cheerful greeting to all those who pass through our doors and maintain order in our sections according to polices promulgated by the Pastor and respond to the requests and directions of the Pastor. Additionally, we lift the offering of the tithes and mission gifts.

Meeting times:

Senior and Young Adult Ushers meet every 1st Saturday at 12:00 noon.
