Greeter/Usher

The ushers and greeters help ensure a smoothly running church service and minister to people in a variety of practical ways.  The duties include greeting people as they arrive for the service, assisting people with special needs, and receiving the offering.

As churchgoers arrive, the ushers and greeters act as doorkeepers, greeting each person with a smile, shaking hands, and handing out bulletins. They are also available to answer visitors’ questions and extend extra help in seating those who need assistance.

During the church service, the usher is responsible to take up the church offering and make sure it is put in the proper place. Ushers stand ready to assist anyone in the congregation who might need help, and to aid latecomers in finding a seat.

When you serve at church, you’re not “just” a volunteer:  a good usher or greeter comes prepared mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Take a few moments at home to connect with God and ask Him to use you as a representative of his love and an agent of His redemptive plan.
