Every Sunday is someone's first Sunday. We are building and developing teams of people to welcome new and returning guests each Sunday. This includes greeters, prayer partners, parking lot attendants, bulletin coordinators, and Connection Center helpers.

• Greeters: Church members who welcome the people God has brought to our church have the opportunity to influence these visitors in a positive way. 2 Corinthians 5:20 states, "We are Christ's ambassadors." Serving as a greeter is representing Jesus Christ in that first important connection with visitors. Contact Sondra Umphress if you would like to be a part of this team.
• Connection Center Hosts: Be a part of providing a ministry of hospitality to guests and members by serving at the Connection Center on Sunday mornings by answering questions about the church, ministries, and events as well as distributing welcome packets. Contact Diana Breeden or Penny Gilliatt.

• Prayer Partners: Prayer is very important in the life of every Christian and we strive to encourage every Christ follower to be a praying servant. Prayer connects us to God and what He is doing. This team provides prayer for those who need prayer. They keep track of prayers and praises and keep them before God on behalf of those requesting prayer. They pray for the weekend services. They help with any prayer efforts we might do as a community of believers or for the community. Contact Brian Gilroy or an elder if you are interested in leading this team.

• Visitation: People matter to both God and us. Individuals need to know that they are missed and loved. Join the team to show you care about those who are: Homebound, Hospitalized, or in a Nursing Home. Contact Brian Gilroy, Lead Minister.

Tips: Spend time listening, Give the gift of touch, offer to pray with/for them, Leave something with them as a reminder of your visit like a card, a flower, last week's bulletin or sermon cd, food, etc.
