Mercy Ministry
Our deacons have a Biblical mandate (Acts 6) to address needs within the Body of Christ, so we have a Deacons’ Fund offering each month to provide for the material needs of our own congregation, and to show the love of Christ to people in our community. The deacons administer these funds, and work together with the men and women of the Mercy Committee to counsel, encourage, and pray for those in need.
Serve with us around the world.
Engagement in Missions is an integral part of the life and ministry of Alexandria Presbyterian Church. Within the first year of APC’s founding, the congregation began supporting a missionary family serving abroad. That commitment to support those in the mission field has deepened over the years through steady financial support, regular communication and prayer.
Use your gifts to serve on our music ministry teams.
At APC, we have members from a wide range of backgrounds, so we offer a blended style of worship that incorporates contemporary worship songs, traditional hymns and music from other traditions.

Adult Choir
The choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings and sings in Sunday services, predominantly at 9 a.m. Their purpose is to magnify God’s greatness by leading gospel-motivated, Spirit-reliant congregational singing, and by crafting rich, gospel-proclaiming music for the church’s reflection and meditation. Please consider lending your heart and your voice to serve your church family! Having the ability to read musical scores is helpful but not required.
Contact: Ben Elliott, Director of Music Ministries, at [email protected].
Help Prepare Communion
We are in need of volunteers to help prepare communion on the second Sunday of each month.
Contact: Andrea Romyn, Hospitality Coordinator, at [email protected].
Ushers
The Usher team needs your help! As God continues to bring more people to APC the need for ushers continues to grow as well. Ushers are vital in APC’s mission of being a “welcoming community of believers,” through service of seating and collection of offerings.
Contact: Matt Coombs, Executive Director of Ministries, at [email protected].
Coffee Team
The coffee team is looking for volunteers: Helping with coffee is a great way to serve the church family and help welcome everyone to the fellowship time between the services. No experience is required.
Contact: Andrea Romyn, Hospitality Coordinator, at [email protected].
Projection Team
By managing the projection of lyrics and scripture on our video screens, projection volunteers keep everyone aware of what’s happening in each service, help to facilitate the leadership of APC’s pastors and musicians, and literally place the words of the gospel in view of God’s people each week. You do not have to be savvy with technology or media design to serve in this capacity.
Contact: Bailey Rolland, Office Administrator, at [email protected].
Greeters
We value your help as we worship on Sunday mornings. We live out APC’s mission as greeters are often the first opportunity to warmly welcome members, regular attenders, and new visitors as part of a “welcoming community of believers.” Volunteers will arrive 30 minutes prior to each service. We desire to have a large enough team to serve once a month with 5-6 volunteers needed for each service weekly.
