This one’s another 2009 classic, recorded back when my video camera was big enough to deserve its own parking spot.
I share a story about arriving late to a large church, finding the Sunday school doors closed, and discovering something remarkable — greeters inside the classroom!
The video may look like it came from an archeological dig, but the principle still preaches: great hospitality doesn’t stop at the front door.
Maybe in 2009 I needed a greeter to help me find better lighting, too.
On A Sunday
Some large churches have a giant Sunday school program. Lots of different classes to choose from. Lots more opportunity to greet first time visitors.
Learn from my experience about using greeters during Sunday School to make a great first impression.
After watching the video, share with us how you use greeters during your Sunday School time.
How do you use greeters in your Sunday school program?
Where else do you have greeters besides the front door?
I’d like to hear from you.
PS. I know that all you friendly proof readers [proof listeners?] will notice my goof between a suburban and urban church. It was an urban church.
Join the Conversation
When these training videos first appeared on ChurchGreeterTraining.com, many church leaders and volunteers shared their insights, stories, and questions in the comments.
During the migration to EvangelismCoach.org, many of those original comments couldn’t be transferred.
Let’s start the conversation fresh — share one takeaway or idea that helped you today. What stood out to you, or what could you put into practice with your greeter team this week?
