Praise Him in the dance. – Psalms
149:3
A Greeter is a person who welcomes and entertains guests in their home/church
and shows hospitality to all that enter the House of the Lord. He/she goes
to great lengths to protect his/her guests. This is considered a sign of
faithfulness to God. The Greek interpretation of “hospitality” is “the
love of strangers.” Therefore, those involved in the Hospitality
Ministry within this church must agree with King David’s testimony…….

“One day in your temple
is better that a thousand anywhere else. I would rather serve in
your house, than live in the homes of the wicked.” --
Psalms 84:10. (ArkBuilders)
|
Our purpose for standing at the door is to exemplify Christ’s love.
We are to accommodate our visitors and let them know that they are family.
We are to be as Abraham was – a host to angels unaware.
|
“Whenever you did
it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed,
you did it for me.” –
Matthews 25:40 (ArkBuilders)
|
In order for us to love like Christ and be a Greeter to angels
unaware, we are to discipline ourselves daily by denying anything that
is ungodly. We must walk after the things of God and live in the supernatural
by allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us.

“Obey your leaders
and do what they say. They are watching over you, and they must
answer to God. So don’t make them sad as they do their work.
Make them happy. Otherwise, they won’t be able to help you
at all. --- Hebrews 13:17 (ArkBuilders)
|
The role of a Greeter should not be taken lightly, because we are the
first person seen when entering the church. We are to reflect Christ
as well as all we have learned from the leadership within our church.
We must be humble, realizing that our primary duty is to make everyone
else feel comfortable, welcome and special (and not ourselves). We must
have these qualities:
• Enjoy people.
• Be cheerful and full of the joy of the Lord.
• Be concerned about the soul of every person that comes through
the doors of the church.
• Study the Word to show yourself approved.
• Be strong in the Lord and able to respond graciously when problems
arise.
