Why Ushers and Greeters are important…

Ushers and greeters play a vital role in any organization or event. Here’s why they’re important:

Ushers will assist members and guests at the Sanctuary and during Services
Greeters will assist members and guests in the lobby when they enter the building

1. First Impressions Matter
Greeters are often the first point of contact for guests. Their friendliness, warmth, and professionalism can set a positive tone and make people feel welcome and comfortable.

2. Guidance and Direction
Ushers help people navigate the space. They assist with seating, provide directions to facilities (restrooms, exits, etc.), and answer questions. This reduces confusion and enhances the experience for attendees.

3. Crowd Management
In large events, ushers help manage the flow of people, prevent congestion, and maintain order—especially during entrances or emergencies.

4. Safety and Security
Ushers are often trained to respond in emergencies. They can guide evacuations, report incidents, and help maintain a secure environment.

5. Enhance the Experience
Both greeters and ushers contribute to the overall atmosphere. Their presence and attentiveness help attendees feel valued, respected, and at ease.

6. Support for Organizers
They act as the eyes and ears of the event organizers. They help enforce rules, distribute materials (programs, tickets, etc.), and relay feedback or issues.

7. Inclusivity and Accessibility
Ushers can assist individuals, helping to ensure that everyone—regardless of age, mobility, or background—feels included and accommodated.

Ushers and Greeters are key to creating a smooth, welcoming, and special experience for everyone involved. Please consider volunteering.

Thank you in advance for signing up.
