Hospitality Keith Alberts Liturgical Publications
About Me
Website Facts 61% of churchgoers say that the church website was “somewhat to very important” in their decision to attend their current church.
Think about…
70-90% of church visitors DO NOT come back for a second visit.
IDEA! Get a friend to visit your church. What do they say about your church's hospitality? Would they come back?
Your Hospitality Ministry members are the face of the Body of Christ to those God sends your way.
Make it clear where to park.
IDEA ! Create a parking lot ministry.
IDEA ! Not big enough? Ask your parish to leave the first two rows open for guests.
Post greeters at every entrance.
IDEA! Get the kids involved.
IDEA!
Use Welcome Kits
IDEA! Create a welcome packet for guests.
Information Booths
IDEA! Create an info desk that is staffed by volunteers.
Ushers
IDEA! Ask your greeters and ushers to be the same. Their goal is to shake every person’s hand as they come in.
MUSTS They must dress professionally. You must provide them nametags.
Your Hospitality Ministry will leave a lasting impression on people as they leave Mass every weekend.
Train your church greeters. Give them expectations of their job like the hostess has at a restaurant.
