Greeters Ministry
The Ministry of Greeters are the welcoming committee of the Church. Their basic duties are stationing themselves at the doors of St. Andrew Church, greeting each arriving member of the Church with a friendly greeting and a few pleasantries. Their primary responsibilities are to make the people welcome and comfortable and enhancing each person’s sense of belonging to the parish.
Greeting visitors at church is such an important part of the hospitality ministry of the church. They are part of the ministry team and form part of the first impression that a visitor receives.
Here are 9 tips for greeters. Remember, it’s more than a handshake.

Don’t ask: “Are you new?”
Don’t ask: “Is this your first time?”

Say: “I don’t think I’ve met you yet, I’m {insert your name here}”
