Theresa Sellers
Director, Welfare/Hospitality
Hello and Welcome,
I am Pastor Theresa Sellers and I serve as the Director of the Usher Board. As the director of the Usher Board, we serve as spiritual ambassadors for Word Empowerment Ministries. From the tabernacle in the Old Testament to the temple and synagogue in the New Testament, Ushers in the tabernacle and temple were called doorkeepers. The psalmist understood the importance of ushers when he said, “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
The disciples acted as ushers on many occasions. They directed people who came to hear Jesus speak or be touched by His healing hands. On one occasion, Jesus instructed the disciples to organize a large group of over 5,000. Jesus supplied the unending loaves and fishes, and the disciples served the hungry multitude as ushers.
I am pleased to serve in the house of the Lord and be sure, I will share with you a warm welcome to Word Empowerment Ministries.
