How to be a great greeter.

It is a real joy to serve in the First Impressions Ministry as a entrance greeter or Welcome Center greeter. We want everyone who attends Rock Springs to know how excited we are that they have chosen to attend. It is such a blessing to let our guests and members know how happy we are to see them. Follow these helps to great greeting.


1. Be at your assigned location no later than the designated time.

2. Smile, speak to, and give a friendly greeting to everyone who enters your door or walks past you in the hallway.

3. Speak to everyone you see.

4. Look around to seek out people to speak to.

5. Wear your greeter name tag.

6. Dress neatly and professionally.

7. Continue to greet if you run out of bulletins. Remember you are there to greet, not just hand out bulletins.

8. Watch for people who appear to need assistance. Help them to a Welcome Center for assistance in locating a Bible Fellowship class, nursery, or other ministry.

9. Remain at your location through the designated time.

10. Remember we only have one chance to make a great first impression on our guests and members.
