Ushers & Greeters

An usher is a pastor or minister’s helper who is called to the ministry of HELPS. An usher is a minister, called of God and equipped with skills, talents, wisdom, and the knowledge necessary to be a servant to everyone in the local church.

People need ushering, as seen in I Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.” The usher’s role is a vital and important one. Quite often there are times when individuals come to Family Worship Center and the usher is the only one they have any direct contact with. To this person the usher is “the church,” therefore, the impression set forth by that usher is a lasting one that could determine whether or not the individual will form a connection to the church and the pastor. The usher becomes a public relations representative for his church and his pastor. A person must feel wanted, comfortable, and important in order to be open to receive. One of the usher’s chief responsibilities is to see that everyone has this feeling.

In the greeters ministry, there are many areas in which a person can give their support and help to Pastor Steve. In this case, being a Greeter is a ministry in which one can effectively serve God and receive blessings of no limit. Being a Greeter is a love ministry in which we greet others with the agape love (God Kind). Receiving a person at the door with an attitude of love can minister to both the giver and receiver. Shaking a person’s hand indicates welcome, but adding the true love of God can develop more than that. It can change a person’s attitude whereby he or she can receive the Word of God in a more powerful and effective way.
