HOST TEAM

'Host Teams' at Hope is new way to wrap our 'first impression' serving roles under one roof with a common goal. Host Teams volunteers understand that new visitors form an opinion about Hope CRC within the first minutes of their experience. From the second a guest walks up to the front doors, the Host Team creates a comfortable environment so members/guests can be open to hearing the truth of God’s Word. All Host Team members will have the support of a coordinator & training to ensure each volunteer feels equipped to serve. All Host Team members are asked to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the service.
