Greeting Program

Darren Fields

Purpose:

Visiting a church for the first time is one of the most intimidating experiences most people have. People usually visit a church for the first time during a period of stress in their lives. They have recently moved into an area, they are dissatisfied with their previous congregation or they are seeking a closer relationship with God. Often a personal change will precipitate this spiritual quest. A new child, a change in health, or the loss of a loved one may cause people to examine their spiritual lives.

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for choosing and coordinating capable men and women to serve in the
  greeting ministry.
• Responsible for choosing and coordinating escorts to take people to class, etc..
• Responsible for training those involved in the ministry to be effective (Training material
  can be found in the notebook, “Greeters Ministry,” by Curt Gunz.)
• Responsible for maintaining and distributing the visitor packet information.
• Visitor recognition and welcoming program, as appropriate.
• See that every visitor to our assembly receives a visitor’s packet and fills our visitors
  card (in connection with Local Evangelism Ministry).
• See that the elder in charge each quarter receives a list of all visitors each Sunday.
