We especially need door Greeters (welcome people to church) and Connectors (direct families to their classrooms). If you are interested in helping out at church, below are some exciting new and existing hospitality roles:
Usher: At the doors to the sanctuary, they provide bulletins to every congregant and help people find seating.
Coffee Host: They brew and set up the coffee station in High Grounds for the morning. They also engage with visitors during the coffee hour.
Door Greeter: Located at the east and west entrances of the church, they open the door for visitors and welcome them inside. They will also assist visitors based on their needs.
Connector: Just inside each entrance, they help answer questions and direct visitors to the appropriate location, whether it is the sanctuary, nursery, or children’s ministry.
Parking Lot Attendant: Starting in the Fall, they direct visitors to the best available parking spot. If the lot is full, they help visitors navigate alternative parking locations.
