First Impressions is all about providing the best experience to each and every person on our campus and we rely on our volunteer teams to make that possible.

 

There are four main parts and serving roles in the First Impressions Team: Greeters, Welcome Center Host/Hostess, Parking Attendants and Welcome Callers.


 

Greeters:

The role of a greeter is broken into two parts: relational and meeting practical needs. Greeters are one of the first people our guests interact with during our services and this first impression usually sets the tone for the guest’s entire experience.  A smile, a hello and a handshake go a long way. Greeters also distribute materials including the weekly bulletin, collect offerings, serve communion and provide assistance as needed.


Welcome Center Host/Hostess:

The Welcome Center is our information center located just outside the doors of the sanctuary; it is where we have all our informational materials as well as sign-ups and registrations for upcoming classes and events. The goal is to make sure our guests have a place they can go to get questions answered.

 

Parking Attendants:

Our Parking Attendants oversee our parking lot to direct cars both parking and dropping off family members. They also ensure there is adequate parking for our elderly and handicap guests. Safety is a top priority and our Parking Attendants make safety possible.

 

Welcome Callers:

These "behind-the-scenes" members of our First Impressions Team assist us in the follow-up of our first-time guests. They help provide an additional opportunity for not only welcoming our guests, but in answering questions
