The choir's responsibilities include, but are not limited to, singing praise and worship, lifting the spirit at Sunday services, and singing families through broken hearts at funerals. Also, concerts, live recordings, and workshops. First Sunday, is the mass choir, which includes the voices of St. Mark, the Sons of Thunder, and total praise.

 Under the leadership of Sister Earline Walker, the scholarship committee, comprised of church members of all ages, uses third gifts to fundraise throughout the year to give blessings to graduates in June.

Ushers are to be Christ's and our church's representatives. Ushers are one of the first contacts with newcomers; therefore, we must welcome worshipers to the lord’s house with a warm and friendly smile. In us, the hospitality of God should be seen. Our role is significant because we serve the Lord.

Thus, we see that the church usher plays a very important part in the church’s program, and their conduct at the service is a reflection of the church. Therefore, it is in the interest of the church that our conduct as ushers is of the best at all times.

A Virtuous woman serves God with all of her heart, mind, and soul. She is trustworthy and is supposed to train the young women and children in the way they should go. A virtuous woman cares for her body and cooks healthy food for her family, friends, and others. She serves others with love and kindness and with a gentle and loving spirit. She is charitable and works diligently with others. The three main characteristics of a virtuous woman are faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of them all is love!
