Does your Church Greeter Ministry

need to get started or

need to get a fresh re-start?

Not too long ago, a pastor described his church greeter ministry to me as

“what happens, happens.”

Their church had church greeters that did some work, but in his assessment, the church greeter ministry was just a disorganized collection of people doing a half-hearted job.

He described his greeters in the church as:

Having no training
Having no job description
Having no criteria for a job well done.
Having no guidance or motivation to go beyond a hello.

Perhaps you are in a similar situation with the greeting ministry at your church.

You know its ineffective, or maybe it functions but is dull.

Or perhaps, you don’t even have a church greeter ministry.

Maybe:

You’ve been asked to recruit greeters for your church greeting ministry.
You’ve been asked to organize your church greeters, but aren’t quite sure where to start.
You’ve been asked to train your current greeters but can’t find any adequate training material available.

Maybe your not sure of any of the requirements to be a church greater and are asking. . .

Where do I begin?

This is what I hear from people like who find this website.

They’ve recently been recruited into the position of organizing the church greeters, or the church is starting a new greeter ministry.

Volunteers are too busy to figure out how to start a greeter ministry from scratch.

How do I re-launch our Greeter Ministry?

Perhaps your greeter ministry has fizzled out during an interim minister, after the previous pastor left.

Maybe your greeting ministry has been neglected as your church has been through a process of healing from a tough season.

Now it’s time to re-energize your church greeter ministry.

I’ve been looking for a resource to help guide me as I work to rebuild our greeter ministry.

Church Greeters 101 hits the spot!

What I really found helpful about Church Greeters 101 was the practical action steps in each chapter.

By the time I finished, I could see how to put together an effective greeter training, which was what I was needing.

After reading this book, I could tell that Chris has been listening to the people he seeks to serve.

The practical nature of this book has given me the boost I needed to rebuild our greeter ministry.

Searching for Church Greeter ideas

You are searching for something related to church greeters.

Maybe you have sought for:

Examples of Greeter Training
Church Greeter Training steps
Books on Church Greeting Ministry
Church Greeter Guidelines
Even free greeter training material (see the Free Videos section)

But what you have found is nothing that fits you or your church.

Nothing that is recent.

Nothing that answers the questions you are asking.

Nothing that solves the practical questions like:

How many church greeters do I need?
How I find the right people to be church greeters?
How do I recruit church greeters to serve in ministry?
How do I develop commitment from church greeters?
How do I help people see the importance of a church greeting ministry?
What are some ways to greet someone in my church?
Becoming a church door greeter.
How do I begin a greeter ministry in a small church?
How do I teach greeters to be warm, caring, and perceptive?
How help first time church visitors feel welcome
Help church greeters be attentive
Develop consistency in greeting
Getting greeters to smile.
How to get beyond “good morning.”
How to implement and develop a church greeter ministry from scratch.

Maybe you realize that the current material available on organizing and training church greeters is so outdated that it is embarrassing to read.

Church Greeters 101 is meant to fill that hole, and provides you with concrete action steps to help you establish and revitalize your church greeter teams and greeting ministry.

Is it possible to be relationally warm without seeming fake or creepy?
How do you find volunteers, get them to participate, and and get them to commit to serving as a greeter?
Is it possible to recruit a team that loves welcoming church members and first time church visitors?
Do you want to ensure that all visitors are receiving a greeting?

Do you want to get past the “hi?”

There are a lot of articles and books on ‘why’ greeters are so important to the vitality of a church, but Pastor Walker gives us insight and guidance on the ‘how” of organizing a vital greeter ministry.

A great primer for churches organizing church greeter training … filled with practical workshop guidelines and training exercises.
