Your Context. 

First Christian Church is an imperfect group of people who have plenty of differences—and we love it that way. We're seekers and followers who have all come to the same realization: God is for everyone, so we are too. Together we seek to follow Jesus and tell the whole world about His love for them. 

We say we’re for everyone, and we mean it.  

That can take many different shapes across our ministries, but the Hospitality Minister will be part of the Welcome and Outreach Team. Welcome Team works to create environments where everyone is seen and celebrated so they have what they need to take their next step with God.

Your Role.  

Your primary focus will be building and leading teams that provide hospitality for Sunday worship services, ministry events and for weekly events/meetings. We use the term “hospitality” primarily to refer to food, drink, wayfinding and décor, however, it is expected that Hospitality Teams will contribute to the general atmosphere of “welcome” inherent in the Welcome Team’s mission at all events.

1. Build and lead Sunday Hospitality teams, contributing to the vision, clearly communicating with teams and ensuring a quality experience for our guests.
