Altar Guild
The Altar Guild serves the Chapel in caring for the altar and processional pieces and the baptismal font. The guild also provides bread and wine for Chapel communion services, preparing the chalices and bread for these services, and cleaning up afterwards.

The napkins and cloths for the monthly communion services are laundered by the altar guild.

The Memorial Chapel communion service each Sunday is the responsibility of the Congregation. The pastor schedules the presiding minister and the servers as needed.

The altar guild supplies the wine, and the pastor or the dean's staff assistant supplies the bread. The chapel attendant cleans up. The chapel hostess is responsible for sending the napkins and altar covers from this service to the laundry.

Nursery
A nursery is provided for young children to use during the Sunday morning service in the Chapel basement kitchen area. Parents are given pagers to take with them to facilitate easy communication should they need to be contacted by the nursery attendants. A committee made up of Congregation members oversees the operation of the nursery and purchases supplies.

Money Counters
Members volunteer to count the offering after each Sunday service and store it in locked bags.

Ushers
Congregation ushers along with student ushers serve as greeters each Sunday morning and for special services at Duke Chapel. They also distribute bulletins, collect the offering, and offer other assistance as needed. They provide crucifer and torchbearer for non-academic Sundays.
