The Ushers and Greeters Ministry plays a vital role in shaping the worship experience from the moment someone steps through the church doors. They are the first faces people see and the warm welcome that sets the tone for everything that follows.

Spiritual Importance
Though their work may seem behind-the-scenes or practical, Ushers and Greeters are frontline ministers of kindness, order, and care. Their attentiveness can ease nervous first-time visitors, provide dignity in sacred moments, and create an atmosphere of peace and worship.
They are the hands and feet of Christ—serving quietly but powerfully.
