3 Types of Outside Greeters for the Church
It’s all about how you treat people and to state the obvious, treating people
well starts at the beginning. For weekend services, that means when cars enter
the parking lot.
I regularly hear pastors and lay persons speak of how friendly their church
is all the while when I drive onto their parking lot nobody is there. It seems
the church is very friendly with itself. However, in far too many cases,
friendliness to guests is sincere but often short-circuited. Be sure to
understand that happens not because the church folks are bad people or
selfish. It happens because the church normally does not create enough waves of
hospitality to engender a genuine lasting sense of welcome to newer people to
the church.
