Usher Ministry
An usher is one who is Christ-like; who serves in God's house, maintaining quietness and reverence; meeting, greeting, and seating the worshippers; and also one who represents Christ and the Church.
Their purpose then and still today is "to promote spiritual dignity to the entire church service." This is done by establishing appropriate sitting for worship. When the people gather and are seated ushers are to see that they assemble in an orderly manner and that a spirit of quietness and reverence prevails.
A description of our ministry would be that of a servant. We are to make members and visitors feel welcome and comfortable, especially the poor, cripple and the blind. We are to always be watchful and quick to act. The one great factor of success in any ministry is the discipline by which it is controlled. Our guidance must come from within, motivated by our love for God and for the service we render.
Our goals were to work with ministries to better serve the church, do outreach, work with the Rocky River Assoc. ushers, and add to the ministry. PHBC Usher's Ministry consists of:

Usher's Motto:

Deacon Ministry
Deacons have a rich and noble heritage in family ministry. It was a family-related need which called this office into being, namely, the economic needs of widows in the early church (Acts 6:1-7). These seven laymen who worked with the apostles in meeting this need were known as the First Deacons. Acts 6:3 Therefore brothers, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom and whom we may appoint over this Business.
The deacons help the pastor in ministering to physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of each church member and family. Every member and every family have a Deacon to call, pray with them, and try to meet their needs.
