Music Ministries
Because the liturgy is the most important work of the Church and the heart of our parish life, OLA’s Worship Ministries invite parishioners to join in this sacred service. These ministries offer opportunities to pray together, prepare and support our liturgies, and assist in their reverent celebration. Through their dedication and gifts, our volunteers help make each liturgy a vibrant expression of our faith.
If you have questions about an individual ministry, please contact the ministry leader listed below, our Director of Music & Liturgy, Jake Mappes, jmappes@olachurch.org, or the Pastoral Council Commission Ministry Head, Jocelyn Ralston, at PC-Worship@olachurch.org.
