Greeting Team Training

Goal: We want every guest to feel welcomed by greeting and assisting them in a way that radiates Christ’s passion and love for them. Every Sunday is someone’s first Sunday!
Remember:

• Make sure both front doors are open as wide as possible.
• Be the first to say “hello”. Make eye contact. Be genuine and welcoming with your actions.
• Put out the MAIN DOOR sign (found in volunteer central) on the porch so new people know where to enter.
• If you are asked where anything is located, please walk them there.
• Please remain in your greeting position until 15-20 minutes after service starts.
• Return to your position after service until the next greeter comes or the crowd thins out. 
• You are the hands and feet of Jesus to our guests. That may mean picking up trash, changing positions, walking a guest to their seat, carrying in a diaper bag for a mom, praying with a guest, or any other opportunity the Lord brings your way. If you see a need, please meet it!
• Please dress appropriately. If there are any questions about what to wear, let us know and we can help.

Goal: We want every guest to feel welcomed by helping them with questions they have when they come to the Welcome Center. Every Sunday is someone’s first Sunday!
 Remember:

• If people ask you when groups are meeting, you can look at the www.feathersoundchurch.com/events
• If someone is interested in a T-shirt, the sizes are located in the baskets on the right side of the WELCOME CENTER.  All purchases on the Resource shelves are made by putting money in an envelope and dropping it in the box on the wall.
• Your standing position will be located in front of the utility closet near the Welcome Center to keep the entrance to the area open.
• A big priority for your position is to look for new people and ask them to scan the QR code on the sign, fill out the form and then give them a YELLOW BAG as a gift.
• If someone does not have a smartphone, have them fill out a physical card and text a photo of the card to 727-564-2244.
• If you are asked where anything is located, find someone to walk them there.
• Remain in the welcome center until 15 minutes after service starts.
• Return to welcome center after service as this is the busier time to serve our community .
• Please dress appropriately. If there are any questions about what to wear, let us know and we can help.
• We have hearing devices available, a sign out sheet is there for anyone that would like to use a device. Wipe down with disinfectant wipes any device that is returned after 1st service.
