Acolyte History

The word acolyte comes from the Greek word akolouthos, meaning companion, attendant, or helper. The acolyte ministry dates back to the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, where the prophet Samuel is seen assisting Eli, the Levite priest, and Elisha is seen assisting Elijah the Prophet.
