WELCOME TEAM MINISTRY
Purpose Statement
“To glorify God by welcoming and making people feel at home and build a genuine relationship through connecting them to the HIF Community”
Almost always, this is the first thing you’d hear as you enter the doors of our premises where we have worship services. They are our greeters which is one of the teams from the Welcome team welcoming you. The other team is Ushers.
The Welcome team is a diverse group of faithful volunteers who come in early every Sunday, and help prepare to make our space ready and conducive for the service. Their purpose is to serve God through others, communicating God’s love in simple ways of expression. This is what brings out the smiles on their faces every Sunday.
Our greeters are those who welcome you at the stairs or at the lobby and in some cases would have answers ready for you if you have questions like: “What time does the service start?”, “Do we have a program for kids?”, or “Where is the toilet?” Our greeters are surely glad to answer your questions or guide you with some information you may need, especially if you’re visiting us for the first time. Every member of the team wears a badge so you will not miss them.
Our ushers on the other hand, are the ones right near the door of the auditorium. They help you find a seat or get to a seat. Most of our ushers’ tasks are while the service is going on. They also assist our MC during the “welcoming” portion of the service when visitors and new residents are given the chance to introduce themselves. They hand the welcome and connect cards to our newcomers to fill out, and take charge of collecting and counting the offering after the service.
At HIF, we are blessed to have brothers and sisters in the Welcome team who are committed to serving on a Sunday when duties are assigned.
Being part of the welcome team is also a great way to meet new people and to start build genuine relationships through connecting them to the HIF Community.
If you want to help create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, you’re most welcome to become part of the team after completing the pre-requisite task of becoming a member. We are continuously building the team and there is always a requirement since we are a transient church.
Please feel free to email admin@hif.vn and J.V.Sunder Singh, our Welcome ministry leader will then brief you on duties and responsibilities and dress code, etc.,.
