"Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God." Romans 15:7

As a member of The Welcome Team you will be given an assignment at the service of your choice for one month at a time. It's a great way to be involved and serve the Kingdom. Not to mention it's loads of fun! The team will meet in the Florida Room 45 minutes before the beginning of every service for encouragement, fellowship, and prayer.

As a part of this team, the most important thing you can do is SMILE and let people know we are delighted they are here. Our goal is to make every person who comes through our doors feel like a part of the family.

Ways to get involved:

The Bookstore is the place for you if you love books and helping people that love books. Complete training will be supplied. The bookstore is open 30 minutes before and after each service.

You’ll have a blast in the café serving people frozen drinks, specialty coffees, and yummy treats. Complete training will be supplied. Plan to stay about 45 minutes after the service for serving and clean up.

Free coffee is available at various locations throughout the building. Your job will be to get things set up prior to the service, oversee things (mainly chat and watch people enjoy each other) and then come back as the service closes to do it again.

You are the place guests come for answers. The Guest Services Desk at the main entrance also serves as the place first-time guests come to pick up their first-time guest gift. You are asked to remain at the desk 10 minutes after the service begins, and 15 minutes after the service is over.

The Next Step Desk is the place people come to find out about taking the Next Step at Seven Rivers. This might be joining a small group, volunteering for a ministry team, signing up for a special event...the list goes on. We will do our best to give you all the information necessary to help people and answer their questions. You are asked to remain at the desk 15 minutes after the service is over.

You may be the first contact a person has as they arrive at Seven Rivers! The most important thing you can do is smile, say hello, and exude warmth and friendliness. You are asked to stay at your door 10 minutes after the service begins.  

You will greet folks as they arrive and hand them a bulletin. The most important thing you can do is smile, say hello, and exude warmth and friendliness. You are asked to remain at your door 10 minutes after the service begins. (Once the service begins, the main entrance doors will be closed—if you are greeting at the main entrance please ask folks to enter at either the east or west entrance.) 

Your job is to fill in the gaps throughout the building with a friendly body. Find someone you don’t know or who looks new and introduce yourself. Sometimes you will have shorter talks with several people, while other instances you might spend the whole time talking with just one person. The point is not to meet a quota, but to help visitors feel welcomed and genuinely cared for – to answer their questions and help them feel at home.
