Door Holder – Host Team

Making church the best experience that our guests have all week. 

We do this by

  • Building relationships
  • Creating excellent environments
  • Providing exceptional service

Within the first 10 minutes, most guests will know whether they will return. 

Every guest has a name and every guest has a story and every Sunday is someone’s first Sunday.

10 great tips…
Smile.
Fresh breath.
Make eye contact
Take initiative and greet.
Don’t ask “Are you new?”
Don’t ask “Is this your first time?”
Offer a bulletin/sermon notes page.
Personal warmth — look like you enjoy welcoming people.
Say “I don’t think I’ve met you yet, I’m {insert your name here}”
If they are new, offer to show them where the restrooms are and offer information about childcare if necessary

Every time we serve … look for opportunities  to do for one what you wish you could do for all.
