Members of the Welcome Team are usually the first representatives of
the church to meet people as they arrive for worship. This means you
establish the mood that enables people to worship. Be friendly and
respectful to every person — try to restore the dignity that society
manages to trample each week. Be proactive in answering questions and in
directing people to other areas of the church. When new people arrive
they have standard questions: Where are the restrooms? Which way do I
enter? Do I need a name tag? You help establish a warm, welcome,
friendly feeling for strangers.
The Mt. Zion Welcome Teams fulfill
the roles previously done by greeters and ushers at Sunday worship
services, but they also assist at other Mt. Zion functions, such as
weddings, funerals, and community fellowship events.
