What is it?

The Host Team can be one of the most influential parts of our church! We are the first people that our guests and congregation will get to interact with on a Sunday morning. Greeting people as they enter the facility is more than a smile. It’s an opportunity to express God’s love through Christ and help set the tone of the upcoming worship service. We read in Romans 12:13, “Contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.” Being on the Host Team gives an opportunity to do this.

What do I do?

Your role is to be a friendly face to usher people in, to guide them to where they need to go, to answer questions or find answers to questions, and to welcome newcomers to our church. Our goal is to host people coming into our church by making them feel welcome, as well as host the presence of God through our hospitality. Church should be the most joy-filled place on earth!

What is it? 

On Sunday mornings we want to help others encounter the Lord as much as it depends on us. One way we can do that is to make their arrival and transition into worship as easy as possible. Whether someone is a first time visitor, new attendee, or has been here for years, arriving at the church building can be stressful. 

What do I do? 

Our ushers help people feel welcome, find a seat, and take up and count the offering. If you are a warm, trustworthy person who likes helping others feel welcome, consider becoming an usher.

We ask team members to follow the 3 P's of Vineyard Prayer Ministry: 

Pray up:  Prepare your heart to hear from the Lord for someone else.

Pair up:  Ministry Team Members pray in pairs.

Pop up: We do not schedule our team members, but we do like to see our team "pop up" when we are called for at the end of a service. That means you can pray as many weeks as you'd like.
