Volunteer Needs
Sundays | Contact: Jennifer Bruner

| Greeters | Greeters serve at one of the entry points to the church on Sunday mornings. They welcome every person who walks into our church with the love of Jesus so that everyone knows they are welcome here. If someone is visiting/new, they are responsible for walking them to their destination, and bringing them to the information desk so we can gather their information and follow-up. | Greeters typically serve at either the 9:30 or the 11 am service. They are expected to be here at least 20 minutes prior to the start of the service, and stay until traffic at their entrance has stopped. They are asked to sign up when they are able to serve; no specific time requirement. | Training for each group is currently occurring on an individual basis. I communicate with new volunteers, and have them shadow an experienced volunteer until they feel comfortable. In addition, they all receive weekly emails letting them know of special events, things they need to know, or any other pertinent information. |
| Parking Ushers | Parking Ushers serve in the parking lot on Sunday mornings. They are responsible for helping the flow of traffic, helping people cross at the crosswalks, and directing new people to the entrances. | Parking Ushers serve once every four weeks, as there are currently four teams. Each team has a captain who is responsible for communicating with their team and ensuring they have coverage. | |
| Service Ushers | Ushers serve during the worship service. They are responsible for helping people enter and exit the Sanctuary, and complete a head count for attendance. They help with ensuring everything is ready for and during worship. | Ushers typically serve at either the 9:30 or the 11am service, but some stay for both. They arrive about 30 minutes prior to the service and stay until everyone has left. They are asked to serve when they are able; no specific time requirement. |
