At Redeemed Gospel Church Garissa, every Sunday service and midweek gathering is an opportunity to worship God together as a family. But what many people may not see is the team working quietly behind the scenes to create a warm, welcoming, and orderly environment. This team is known as the Ushers and Protocol Department. Their role is much more than guiding people to seats or organizing movement during services; they help set the tone for worship and ensure everything flows smoothly.
Welcoming Worshippers with Warmth and Order
The first people you meet when you step into the church are the ushers. With a smile and a handshake, they make every person feel seen and valued. Whether you are from Garissa Town, Mororo, or Madogo, their role is to welcome you into an atmosphere of love and respect.
Ushers ensure that everyone finds a comfortable place to sit, assist parents with children, and are always ready to help newcomers who may not know where to go. Their presence creates a peaceful atmosphere where worshippers can focus on God, knowing that everything is in order.
Ensuring a Smooth Flow of Services
A well-run service requires order, and that’s where the protocol team comes in. From coordinating the movement of people during intercessory prayer, to ensuring the choir and speakers are ready on time, their work ensures there are no distractions that could interrupt the worship flow.
During the Praise & Worship session, ushers help guide latecomers quietly into their seats. During testimonies or special presentations, the protocol team ensures transitions happen smoothly. Their service may seem unnoticed, but without their careful attention, the service would feel disorganized.
Behind-the-Scenes: Preparing for Worship Gatherings
Long before the congregation arrives, the ushers and protocol team are already at work. Chairs are arranged, offering baskets are prepared, and any necessary adjustments to the hall are made. They work hand-in-hand with the Music and Media Ministry to make sure everything is in place for a powerful worship experience.
Their preparation is not limited to the physical setup. The team gathers in prayer, asking God to use them as vessels to serve His people with joy and excellence.
