What's a Greeter?
THE FIRST TO WELCOME
Our Greeters are the first people to welcome a new person or family to Crossroads. Why is this important? Our Church can be unfamiliar and overwhelming to many who come from other churches. Just the size of the Sanctuary can be an obstacle to some. Our skills and talents as Greeter's, a smile and a hand shake, can make the difference in their decision to come back. We know who is bringing them through that door, but we never know what the circumstances are in that individual's life.

THE FIRST TO GUIDE
Our Greeters provide the first introduction for new people to the layout and services offered at Crossroads. How many Churches do you know of that offer a coffee shop, book store and music store in the lobby area? Our Greeters make new people feel at home and introduce them to feeling comfortable about making Crossroads their home church.

THE FIRST TO ASSIST
Our Greeters provide the first assistance to the handicapped, people with an arm load of packages or bibles, Mothers and Dads carrying infants and others who forgot where their class meets. We always leave our stations to show new people where to take their children for Sunday School or where to find more information about a subject.

THE FIRST TO ANSWER
Our Greeter's have the answers to all those questions like where is adult Sunday School, what activities are planned for youth, Jr. High and High School and where do they sign up for the women's retreat.

THE FIRST TO INTRODUCE
Our Church is a very friendly Church, but to the new people, it's a room full of strangers. That's where our Greeters make the difference by introducing new people to a few friends, to Ushers and Pastors.

THE FIRST TO SMILE
Our Greeters have one thing in common, an infectious smile! Just this simple ability to smile shows new people that this is a fun, spirit filled place. The smiles on our Greeters faces return smiles and new people sense this right away. Smiles prepare the heart to receive the Word by letting the new people know that we are really glad they came through our doors!
