The quality of service plays a big part in determining what restaurants, hotels, and other businesses we frequent. The same is true for the local church. When people come to church for the first time, how are they treated? Do guests feel valued? Do they feel like they could fit in?
When people come to New Hope Church, they come into contact with numerous volunteer teams that are all there to make sure their experience is great. Within the first 10 minutes of their visit, we want our guests to say, “Wow! I’m impressed.” We want them to know that they are important to us by providing a warm and safe environment for them to take their next step toward Christ.
