Acolytes have been a part of the church's life for hundreds of years; in fact, they used to be an ordained ministry just like being a priest or a bishop. Acolytes assist the priests in leading the service, and so really they help lead the congregation, too.
Trinity has an acolyte corps that ranges in age from 10 to 60+. Acolytes are an integral part of every service and add to the beauty of our liturgy. Training moves the acolyte from the first steps of torch bearing through crucifering and serving the priest during communion.
