Not just anyone can be an usher, in the same way that not just anyone can be in the worship team, work in children’s ministry or lead a small group. The right gifts, passion, and ability make a big difference.

1. The usher’s spiritual relationship with the Lord must be continually growing such that his relationship with his fellowmen becomes exemplary.
2. An usher must attend meetings regularly.
3. An usher must constantly desire to develop a team spirit among the members of the ministry.
4. Friendliness is a very important characteristic of a good usher.
5. Other attributes of a good usher are: punctuality, humility, graciousness, kindness, submissiveness, flexibility, cleanness, sensitiveness (alert), faithfulness (dependable), availability, dedicated, poised and most of all, prayerful.
6. An usher should be knowledgeable particularly about the church – its faith, worship gathering schedules, workers, outreaches, ministries and facilities
