Whether they are labeled deacons, deaconesses, greeters, or anything else, the New Testament model of hospitality proactively reaches out to meet the spiritual, mental and physical needs in the body of Christ and in the world. The HOW ministry of hospitality spans the gamut from greeting (making guests feel comfortable and welcome), to ushering (ministering to everyone's needs during services), to visiting/ministering to the sick, to providing meals for those needing temporary assistance, to aiding assimilation of new believers/members into the body.
The Hospitality Ministry plays a vital ministry role ensuring that members and guests experience a positive worship event.
