In the late 1950s, a small group of dedicated people saw a need to provide comfort for members and visitors; to act as ambassadors of kindness and to assist with general order.

Mr. Sylvester Heyward was the first president. In 1969, under the leadership of Ms. Rosie Childs, the Ushers Ministry marked its first decade with an anniversary celebration.March 16, 1969, was the date of the first anniversary with Minister J.L. Cotton as guest speaker. Since that time the anniversary has been observed on the 3rd Sunday in March. Several dedicated leaders have served as president. Mrs. Helen Hicks has the distinction of having served the longest term as president and the honor of being the longest serving member is held by Ms. Rosie Childs. Mrs. Ernestine King is the current president. In 1992, the Ushers Ministry adopted “Meals on Wheels” as an outreach ministry to provide hot, nourishing meals to the sick, the elderly and those confined to their homes. Approximately 75 meals are prepared and delivered on the 4th Saturday of each month.

Presently, there are 51 members serving in the Senior Ushers Ministry and 32 members in the Junior (Youth) Ushers Ministry.
