Meeting Every 2nd Monday, 6:00 pm
This Porter Ministry, also known as “Guardians of God’s Anointed”, is only one of the strategic components within the supernatural Ministry of Helps within our local church. This ministry is consistently girded by prayer and continuous fasting that we may be sensitive to
God’s Spirit, walking in power and authority to be able to thwart the devices of the wicked one, meet the needs of the people and receive direction from the Lord. This ministry is ordained and anointed by God and consists of greeters/ushers who are divinely set in the church with purpose and a servant heart.
Our mission goes far beyond the traditional stereotype of ushering, mere bucket-passers and hand-shakers, to encompass greater and more meaningful responsibilities that can be categorized in the four specific areas:
1. Assist the Pastors - We are to assist the pastor and help them accomplish their goals and bring their vision for the church to fulfillment.
2. Maintain Order - We are to maintain order and orchestrate movement during the service, prayer ministry lines and communion. We are the first-line defense against Satan's devices of confusion and distraction that can separate people from God’s Word and the flow of the Holy Spirit. This position is genuinely unique because it is a matter of life and death where souls are on the brink of life changing decisions.
3. Receive Offering - We receive offering in a manner according to 2 Corinthians 9:7. For we have purposed in our hearts to receive cheerfully and hilariously that which is given unto the Lord for His Kingdom. The attitude in which offering is received plays a major role that may affect the congregations willingness to give to the Lord.
4. Meeting and Greeting - We are God’s public relations man and we represent the church to every new visitor. We are the extension of God’s heart and hands. It is the responsibility of the usher to make the visitors feel welcomed and important. Visitors are greeted with the same love and warmth as the pastors would themselves. The first impression is a lasting impression. Porters make a difference in someone’s life!
The Porter Ministry is built upon sound teaching and training systems according to the Word of God for seasoned and potential ushers and greeters; such as, the Local Church Usher Training System, Ushers 101, Greeters 101, the Ministry of Helps, etc
