Your church greeters are one of the most important experiences for first time visitors. You may want to organize a greeter ministry and are not sure where to begin.

Greeter ministry is at the core of your welcome experience:

Greeting people at the door,
Greeting people at a welcome center
Greeting people during the worship service.
Greeting people after the service is over, or between morning services.

A lot of churches think that greeting happens automatically.

But we all know that it doesn’t.

In fact, we all know that greeter enthusiasm comes and goes in waves. You build them up, but after a few months, the system gets disorganized and lazy again. Greeters stop showing up and they forget the importance of their role in the church hospitality system. You loose track of who are greeters in your church.

You want your guest to return, not be driven away

Every church wants their guests to return, and not be driven away by church greeters who say embarrassing things.

How your guests experience your greeters is one of the central influences in their decision to return to your church. Yet depending on what study you read, up to 70% – 90% of those visitors don’t come back for a second visit.

Training your church greeters is one area that you can focus on to lower that number for your congregation and improve the rate at which visitors to return.

Your church greeter ministry is one central point for volunteer training in your church hospitality training, if you want more of your first time church visitors to return.
