Join the Greeters Ministry

 
Join the St. Luke's Greeters Ministry and help visitors feel welcome and connected as they step foot onto our church campus.

Why have a Greeter’s Ministry?
 
The Greeter’s Ministry works as a part of the Invite, Welcome, Connect activities.  A simple way to vision this is:  Invite = Evangelism; Welcome = Hospitality; and Connect = Lay Ministry involvement
 
The Greeter’s Ministry is a critical link between the Invite and Welcome steps and, through information gathering, enables the Connect step.  Many times, it will be the first personal contact between a person and St. Luke’s and will be a critical first impression.  The Greeters also help set the model of a theology of WELCOME and HOSPITALITY to all, including parishioners, at St. Luke’s.
 
What do the Greeters do?
 
Besides a big smile and a warm heart, the responsibilities of a Greeter are easy:

• Arrive about 15 minutes before service begins
• Set up (at 8:45 AM service) and monitor the Visitor Table and Visitor Registry (supplies provided)
• Introduce yourself to visitors and greet parishioners, set a welcoming tone
• Ask visitors if they would like to sign the visitor log or fill out a visitor card
• Pass on the visitor information for follow-up (process TBD)
• Store visitor table supplies (after 11:00 AM service)

 
How often will I serve as a Greeter?
 
Any Greeter should not be scheduled any more often than one service time per month.
 
Will I receive training?
 
Yes, a training session will be held during the early fall.
