Acolytes or Altar servers assist the clergy during services. They might carry the cross, candles or liturgical fans in processions and entrances; maintain the censer, ensuring it has enough live charcoal, loading it with incense and handing it to the priest when required; preparing the hot water (zeon) in time for it to be added to the chalice at the Divine Liturgy; prepare the antidoron for the people to receive after Holy Communion; and any other necessary tasks. Altar servers must be on time each Sunday and participate at the special services throughout the year.

Participating in the Divine Liturgy through the gift of voice is a sacred responsibility. In fact, in the Orthodox Church, our hymns and responses are “prayed” by our chanters and Choir members, rather than "sung." We encourage our faithful to come study with our chanters and to consider joining our Choir. Both ministries present us with an opportunity to get more involved in the Church's liturgical life and a vehicle for putting our unique musical gifts to work for the glory of God.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 The Orthodox Faith is our children’s Salvation. The way we teach our faith will have a life long affect on their lives. The Religious Education Program is tailored under the auspices of the Religious Education Ministry of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Ranging from Preschool thru 12th Grade our program challenge and enlighten the Youth of our parish.

The Outreach Committee at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church is committed to serving Christ by serving others. We offer confidential assistance to individuals in our communities in need. Nationally and internationally, we also offer support. The committee encourages participation in international mission work, as well as local philanthropy. Our goal is to spread the love of Christ by loving and caring for our fellow man.

The Iconography Committee was formed with the mission to examine and supervise the acquisitions and renovations of the Parish Artwork while maintaining the architectural integrity, interior authenticity, and spiritual domain of our religion. The committee researches and interviews professionals with the knowledge, education, and skills to execute the designs and renovation of the Cathedral in an authentic Byzantine style.

The Iconography Committee assumes the responsibility, along with the presiding priest, to maintain our commitment to acquiring the services of master tradesmen, designers, artisans and iconographers that respect and honor the dogma and style of Eastern Orthodoxy.
