Verger Pendant Episcopal Church

Vergers are laypersons who serve the church in a ministry of service and welcome. The verger is able to respond to any inquiry concerning the upcoming service, church facilities or current program offerings. Some typical verger duties are assigning, training and checking in lectors, chalice bearers, acolytes and prayer intercessors. The verger often coordinates with the altar guild and funeral guild. In some parishes the verger checks lighting and sound.
