Hospitality

Minister

First Christian Church is an imperfect group of people who have plenty of differences—and we love it that way. We're seekers and followers who have all come to the same realization: God is for everyone, so we are too. Together we seek to follow Jesus and tell the whole world about His love for them.    We say we’re for everyone, and we mean it. That can take many different shapes across our ministries, but the Hospitality Minister will be part of the Welcome and Outreach Team. Welcome Team works to create environments where everyone is seen and celebrated so they have what they need to take their next step with God.

Your primary focus will be building and leading teams that provide hospitality for Sunday worship services, ministry events and for weekly events/meetings. We use the term “hospitality” primarily to refer to food, drink, wayfinding and décor, however, it is expected that Hospitality Teams will contribute to the general atmosphere of “welcome” inherent in the Welcome Team’s mission at all events. You will:

• Build and lead Sunday Hospitality teams, contributing to the vision, clearly communicating with teams and ensuring a quality experience for our guests.
• Work with Welcome and Outreach Minister to create the vision and build the teams for FCC all-church ministry events hospitality (3-5 per year).
• Manage hospitality resources available to ministry and volunteer staff for their ministry events. You’ll help them have what they need to have quality hospitality at their events.
• Ensure that meetings occurring at FCC during the week have appropriate hospitality provided.
• Be part of the First Things First team, including providing a hospitality team to setup tables and décor, serve and clean up lunch and assemble the “give away” bags. First Things First is our quarterly orientation class for guests.
• Lead a Setup Team that can provide support setting up tables, décor, etc., for a variety of ministry events.
• Occasionally, FCC hosts large events led by local community organizations. Our Hospitality Minister will help us care for our guests well by providing a hospitality plan and team appropriate for the event (3-4 per year).

Nobody flies solo here. We’re a dedicated staff team and are all partners in what’s happening at FCC, so we work in unison and always have each other’s back. Your part of the equation looks like this:

• Participate fully with the FCC Welcome and Outreach Team by maintaining consistent office hours, taking initiative for your areas of responsibility and having a heart of service to see the entire ministry flourish.
• Take two weekly 4-hour shifts as support for our Weekday Welcome volunteers who serve as receptionists during the week.
• Partner with other FCC staff teams, such as Communications and Operations Teams, by submitting requests, communicating plans and offering appreciation so that our various Teams work together smoothly and effectively for overall church health.
• Attend monthly All-Staff meetings.

Bonus Points. (special consideration given to candidates that also have these):

• Previous experience volunteering or serving on a church staff in the area of hospitality.
• Previous experience in a hospitality-oriented business.
