Hospitality Ministry Leader

MINISTRY DESCRIPTION

“Hospitality is the evangelism of the 21st century.”

—J. I. Packer

Although they belong inseparably together, hospitality moves one step beyond welcome.

Welcome is the glad reception of a person.

Hospitality is the anticipation of needs and desires of person in advance.

Welcome is an open door. Hospitality is place at the table, set in anticipation.

The Hospitality Leader works to ensure that the practical needs of those who attend, and especially guests, are attended to in a spiritually sensitive, pro-active and thoughtful way.

Excellent and sensitive communicator, attention to detail, sensitive to the spiritual dimension of practical care, a heart for first-time visitors, empathetic and sympathetic toward those that are new to our local church or even church/Christianity in general.
