Greeters Ministry
Sis Catina Burch
We are the first individuals that visitors see as they enter into the church. In those first few minutes, opinions are being formed.
It is our duty to be friendly and show agape love to everyone that enters through the doors of Mt Olive.
Our goal is to always show kindness to our visitors and members, and to ensure a positive atmosphere. We are responsible for creating the “first impression”.
All greeters are volunteers. Each greeter is assigned a Sunday to greet everyone, read approved announcements and welcome visitors.
Greeters must be dedicated, dependable, faithful, self motivated, hospitable, and gracious.
The Greeters Ministry is open to any member who is willing to share a smile and give a warm welcome to our visitors.
