Hospitality

Did you know that according to Barna Research, 40% of visitors make up their mind about a church before they see the pastor, and within their first two minutes of a service they have already formed an opinion about whether the congregation is friendly?

Whether serving as a greeter who smiles and says good morning at the door, an usher who escorts a visitor to the right place, or a server of coffee and pastries, our first interactions will show people that the world is a more hospitable place because of Jesus. For more information about serving in the Hospitality Ministry,  contact Lori Moore.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
