Ministries at St. Alban's
Who are the ministers of the church?
The ministers of the church are lay persons, bishops, priests, and deacons.
What is the ministry of the laity?
The ministry of lay persons is to represent Christ and his Church; to bear witness to him wherever they may be; and, according to the gifts given them, to carry on Christ’s work or reconciliation in the world; and to take their place in the life, worship, and governance of the Church.

Everyone is welcome at God’s table, to share in the life of the Church – even those who are still uncertain or just inquiring about their faith – all are welcome and all can serve.
The following are some, but not all, of the opportunities of service at St. Alban’s.
Altar Guild
St. Alban’s Altar Guild members have been called to serve our Lord and His Table for Eucharist services, for baptisms, weddings, celebrations of life and other services as needed. The Altar Guild decorates the church for each of the church seasons, changing banner and adoring the church for Christmas and Holy Week.

Attic Shoppe
We have operated The Attic Shoppe, a thrift/resale store, for over 57 years at 316 Corey Avenue in downtown St. Pete Beach. We sell women’s and men’s clothing, jewelry, housewares and decorative items. Profits from the Attic are donated directly to community organizations such as CASA, St. Giles Food Pantry and the St. Petersburg Free Clinic.
The hours for the downtown shop may occasionally change due to the season.
Current hours are: 10am—2pm every day except Sunday.
We are always looking for volunteers. The Attic Shoppe is fun, and it is a wonderful place for fellowship with like-minded people. The telephone number at the shop is (727) 360-5647. Please visit the Attic Shoppe Facebook Page.
* Please note that as of November 6, 2022 the Furniture Annex is permanently closed, and we are no longer accepting furniture donations of any kind.
