Serving Together
Serving God means serving each other and the world. The gift of serving is one of the most powerful things we can embrace as Christians.

You will meet Joseph and Rhonda below. They work to make our ministries thrive! We hope that you might find an opportunity that speaks to "who you are" and "where you are" right now.

Joseph
When I first came to St. Cat's, I became an Usher completely by accident (there’s a funny story involving shorts and flip-flops — come find me on Sunday and I’ll tell you all about it!). That happy accident led me to meet people (lots of people) and before long, I went from being “the new guy” to truly feeling known.
To me, that’s what Mother Sarah and Father Trey mean when they talk about “Getting Connected.”
If you feel called to serve during worship, this is a great place to begin. The brief descriptions below will give you a sense of each ministry and where you might want to jump in. If you have any questions, feel free to email me, I’d love to talk with you!

The brief descriptions below will give you a sense of what each ministry does and help you discern where you might feel called to participate. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me, I’d be glad to connect!
