Built upon the Parish’s belief that ALL people are whole in the sight of God, our ministries focus on the the spiritual, physical, emotional, and social aspects of our lives.
Almost 70% of the parish's active members
participate in one or more ministries of the church. The ministries of
the Parish are as diverse as its members. Examples include: Feeding the homeless; Garden Groceries Food Pantry; and the Social
Committee. Members of the Parish are also working with Brady Heights Neighborhood Association
helping to improve the lives of persons living in Tulsa’s historic
community.
Lay
Assistants
The
word “liturgy” means of the people. Therefore, the participation of
members in our regular worship service is very important. Lay Assistants
serve as Lectors (reading the Scriptures); Crucifers (carrying the Cross);
Ushers; Oblationers (presenting the Gifts of God for the People of God);
SubDeacons (assisting the Deacon in the preparation of the altar and at
times, serving the chalice); and Altar Guild members (preparing the
Sanctuary for the service).
Music
Whether
you sing, play ancient rhythmic percussion instruments or have another
musical talent, the Parish’s music ministry has just the place for
you.
Church
Leadership
The Vestry
The Parish is governed by, what we call a “Vestry”. Similar to a Board
of Directors, the Vestry directs and manages all aspects of the Parish,
and along with the clergy, participate in our spiritual direction. As
elected representatives of the membership, the Vestry members serve as the
voice of the Parish. At the Parish Church of St. Jerome, there is a
leadership position for everyone. From Finance to Building and Grounds
Committees, its easy for you to be a part of our exciting community.
